Describe issue

Getting below error when executing act. Using Rancher Desktop as my docker engine.

Error: unable to determine if image already exists for image '[REDACTED]/workflow-test-runner:debian-bullseye-1.3.0_arm64' (linux/arm64): error during connect: Get "http://%2FUsers%2F[REDACTED]%2F.rd%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/images/[REDACTED]/workflow-test-runner:debian-bullseye-1.3.0_arm64/json": EOF

Workflow content

n/a. The workflows run on act when using Docker desktop. But Our company is restricting the use of docker desktop and using rancher desktop instead.

Try defining the variable DOCKER_HOST either before running act:

export DOCKER_HOST=$(docker context inspect --format '{{.Endpoints.docker.Host}}')
act -j test ...

or as a one liner:

DOCKER_HOST=$(docker context inspect --format '{{.Endpoints.docker.Host}}') act -j test ...

It'd be really nice if act honored the active docker context instead of relying on manually setting DOCKER_HOST or creating a symlink in /var/run/docker.sock ...
