I am trying to locally test github actions with the open-source Act utility.
"Think globally,
act
locally"
I have copied the git hub repository for which i want to check github action and it does contains .github/workflow folders.
I run this command to run my github action.
act -v workflow_dispatch
It gives this error

I am new to docker and I literally don't know anything about it just that it creates containers(similar to OS) for running softwares. I tried searching on github issues for Act but could not find anything.
I installed docker with sudo snap install docker
then I checked with echo $?
which gave out 0
and docker -v
which gave out Docker version 20.10.8, build 3967b7d28e
, so it seems like I do have running docker installed then still why it is giving this error.
And here is the github action/workflow file I wrote
name: Link Snitch

schedule:
- cron: '0 1 1 * *'
workflow_dispatch:

This is a docker issue, because you want to run docker as a non-root user. You need to add docker to the docker group.
This answer gives a detailed explanation on how to fix it. For me, running sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER
and then rebooting worked.
