Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/1663

Act version

0.2.43

Feature description

act looks like a good tool, but in my situation, I want to use remote docker instances and did not found any parameters for that.

My computer only have about 500G of hard drive disk in total. Docker Desktop Windows and Docker images will take a lot of space in driver C:. I did not found any solution that can install Docker outside driver C:\ since Docker has no such option.

Thus, I prepare to install a Docker in another computer and use act remotely.

Is it possible? Thanks a lot.
