Act version

0.2.30

Feature description

It would be great if act could also use containerd.

I have tried to use containerd locally by specifying the following.

In my .bashrc I defined an alias for docker.

alias docker=nerdctl

I also try to use the containerd socket.

$ act --container-daemon-socket /run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock -j test-job

Getting containerd up and running locally is quite easy by using. Rancher Desktop in case someone knows how to build the support for this.

Would a PR be accepted, maybe if someone in the community finds time to implement it?

I might also give it a shot if I can find some time.

For reference.

https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/main/client.go

probably make a new package within pkg/container/containerd and move the existing logic into pkg/container/docker.

Could we leave the issue open for visibility so there is a higher chance someone will pick it up?

Rancher Desktop in case someone knows how to build the support for this.

This might not be exactly what I looked for. I could run act with Rancher Desktop (v1.6.2) on my MacBook Pro (Apple M1 Pro) like below:

Change container engine to 'dockerd (moby)' from Rancher Desktop Preference
DOCKER_HOST=unix://$HOME/.rd/docker.sock act ... --container-architecture linux/amd64

@shotarok sure with Moby it works, but the whole point was to support containerd, so I don't have to switch just for act.

@marcofranssen maybe try out https://github.com/afbjorklund/nerdctld, haven't checked if it implements the api surface that act needs though: https://github.com/afbjorklund/nerdctld#implemented-commands
