I'm having this same issue. Ubuntu 22.04 Docker Desktop 4.15.0

You can "fake" this until the issue is resolved by symlinking the sock file

sudo ln /Users/adamgilman/.colima/default/docker.sock /var/run/docker.sock

there is no need for symlink, act supports DOCKER_HOST like other docker tools

https://github.com/nektos/act/wiki/Custom-container-engine

You can also run the following command

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

This is documented here in readme
