Command used with act

act -P ubuntu-latest=catthehacker/ubuntu:full-latest --rm --bind --container-options '-u 1012:1013' -W .github/workflows/ci.yml

Describe issue

I am trying to run act on the latest commit of https://github.com/perwendel/spark.

Locally, in my machine, I am able to do so without any errors.
However, when I try to run it on a server, it fails due to lack of permission to create a new directory in the root directory of the docker container.

I have tried searching for similar issues, but no solution worked so far.

Thanks in advance :))

@andre15silva commented on GitHub (May 25, 2023):

We (cc @Nfsaavedra) have narrowed down this issue to the Linux user identifiers.

In our local machines, since we are the only and first users of the machine, our users have a uid of 1000.
This is the same uid of user runneradmin inside the catthehacker/ubuntu:full-latest containers.

When we execute the same command on remote servers (where our uids are different from 1000), we observe this error.
Even when we set it to run on -u 1000:1000, it still reports other errors that we suspect are related with permissions too (since we are trying to execute with a uid different from our own).

We are patching this issue locally by adding a layer on top of the original image, but this is sub-optimal.
Would you have a proper solution alternative to patch this bug in act?
