Error: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
exit status 1

Command used with act

gh extension exec act --bug-report

Describe issue

Following https://github.com/nektos/act#docker-context-support, if I manually export DOCKER_HOST before executing gh extension exec act, it works fine. If I store DOCKER_HOST in the .env file, then above error shows.
