Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/1132

System information

Operating System: macOS
Architecture: arm (m1)
Apple M1: yes
Docker version: colima 0.3.4, docker 20.10.11
Docker image used in act:ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest
act version: act version 0.2.26

Expected behaviour

Act to work with Colima, as Colima runs Docker CE (but not desktop).

Actual behaviour

Fails to start, it looks like it relies on a binary docker-credential-desktop that only exists with Docker desktop (which you're not allowed to use if you're on a business machine due to licensing).

It looks like colima doesn't provide executable for interfacing with credential store, so it should be fixed by them.

Could it be that you have a credential store set in your docker config: ~/.docker/config.json:

"credsStore": "desktop"

But since you switched to colima it is not used anymore? See also: https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/issues/52
