Hi 👋🏻,

I very recently discovered act that seems to be a very nice project. I have a project that uses docker compose. I like to spin-up a local database to test and have persistence between restarts, and I use Docker volumes to do that. When the repository is being checked out by act, the folders that I use to temporarily store this information are owned by the docker user, these are not accessible and act crashes due to an IO error.

I would suggest that act warns on IO errors, maybe with a setting somewhere where we can suppress the warning when this gets noisy.

...
[CI] ⭐ Run Main Checkout repository
[CI]   🐳  docker cp src=/path/to/pgpaste/. dst=/path/to/pgpaste
[CI] <nil>
[CI]   ❌  Failure - Main Checkout repository
[CI] open /path/to/pgpaste/.database: permission denied
[CI] 🏁  Job failed
Error: Job 'CI' failed

Thanks
