What happened?

I was attempting to use testcontainer-go inside GitHub Actions when I got the error.
I used the following config as part of my workflow

  Test:
    # Run Test after Build, even if it fails
    if: ${{ always() }}
    needs: Build

    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: [ ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-26-intel ]
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: docker/setup-docker-action@v5
        if: runner.os != 'linux' # Linux runner comes with Docker by default
        with:
          set-host: 'true'
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v6
        with:
          go-version: '1.26'
          cache-dependency-path: |
            api/go.sum
            dashboard/go.sum
