Getting an error trying to use this with apache drill:

$ git clone https://github.com/apache/drill.git
$ cd drill
$ act
[Github CI/Main Build                           ] 🧪  Matrix: map[java:13]

Error: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/act-Github-CI-Main-Build" is already in use by container "75d5264d8206d5f96c04682ce4abb577ff3080b3e0e9a920f63951198437b625". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.

If I run act --reuse it doesn't get this error, though.
