Add support for Docker Engine installed in WSL2 in GitHub Local Actions

[albal]

Act version

act version 0.2.79

Feature description

There is an option to point to the Docker Desktop in the GitHub Local Actions settings. On Linux I have installed Docker Engine (not Docker Desktop - this means I am using Docker in my machine under the Apache License).

I would like to use Docker Engine in WSL2 under Windows 11. There is a warning when installing Docker Engine from https://get.docker.io/ but it is fine to run Docker in WSL2 on Windows 11 in this manner. You can provide a path reference to the Docker binary from Windows to WSL2 using UNC path:

\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\usr\bin\docker

It would be great to be able to support this option.

I have found if you install and run VS Code from the WSL2 environment then the Docker Engine is detected.

act does not use the cli tool of docker.

Yes if you run act inside the wsl2 where the docker.sock unix socket can be found act knows how to use it.
