Issue: Got error when use act at locally with remote docker contexts

[Aisuko]

Act version

➜  helm-charts-action git:(master) ✗ act --version
act version 0.2.20

Expected behaviour

act can work well with remote docker context, and I can pull the target image by manually.

Actual behaviour

act can not pull the image

@catthehacker I can help test or contribution, please do some feedback

I think act doesn't read docker context configurations, no idea how to do that.

I would try to set the environment variable DOCKER_HOST=ssh://aisuko@192.168.1.104, then act should be able to connect.

DOCKER_HOST=ssh://aisuko@192.168.1.104 act

In the log it tried to connect to localhost, because DOCKER_HOST was set to it's default (or unset) unix:///var/run/docker.sock

Thanks, I will take it a try.

[catthehacker]

Docker contexts are not supported and it's quite easy to overcome that (example above). Anyone can feel free to make PR with such feature but it won't be actively pursued.
