Thanks to https://github.com/nektos/act/discussions/1165#discussioncomment-2772110 , we have a workaround:

docker login --username your_username_here
docker pull node:16-buster-slim

Then act should work :)

what i noticed is it is not hanging it is just taking some time to download the image, the image size is about image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest is about 1.2GB

i noticed this when i tried to pull the image will docker cli

docker pull image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest

and after it finished, act worked fine

@kirtimanmishrazipstack commented on GitHub (Jul 16, 2024):

I am still facing the same issues.

If I run
act -P ubuntu-latest=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04 -W .github/workflows/<workflow-name.yaml>
It is stuck at docker pull image=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04 platform= username= forcePull=false

If I run
act -W .github/workflows/<workflow-name.yaml>
It is stuck at docker pull image=catthehacker/ubuntu:full-latest platform= username= forcePull=true

@ChristopherHX commented on GitHub (Sep 27, 2024):

Using act -v has a bit too much docker pull progress logging and that is older than this issue.

e.g. the current issue template suggests an act cli command with -v as well, while this issue doesn't mentioned verbose mode anywhere.

Not on my backlog, I'm labeling as confirmed not planned

@ChristopherHX - yeah, noticed the same. Any workaround to this?

It's just reaaly slow the first time it runs; mine took about 10 mins. After it is cached it will run faster.

I can confirm it takes a long time to download image (I selected large), but it's running fine for me.
I stopped and started 'act' two times until I came across this issue and read @rj-wowza message!

Can confirm that it takes a while. There should probably be more visibility that things are moving aside from -v.
