GitHub Actions ubuntu-slim runner Docker container actions support GitHub-hosted runners documentation
💡 Result:
GitHub Actions ubuntu-slim runners do not support running jobs within Docker containers using the jobs.<job_id>.container syntax, nor do they support Docker-in-Docker operations [1][2][3]. The ubuntu-slim runner (also known as the 1 vCPU Linux runner) is architecturally distinct from standard virtual machine-based GitHub-hosted runners [2][4][3]. While standard runners operate as virtual machines, ubuntu-slim runners execute workflows directly inside a container [2][4][3]. Key limitations regarding Docker and containers on ubuntu-slim include: * Unprivileged Mode: The ubuntu-slim environment runs in unprivileged mode, which prevents operations that require elevated privileges, such as mounting file systems, accessing low-level kernel features, or performing Docker-in-Docker tasks [2][3]. * No Container Jobs: Because the runner itself is already executing inside a container, nesting additional containerized jobs via the container: keyword in your workflow YAML is not supported [1][2][5]. * Docker CLI: Although the ubuntu-slim image includes the Docker Client and Docker Compose, the Docker daemon is not present [1][6]. Consequently, you cannot use the Docker CLI to interact with a local daemon, and attempts to do so will fail [1]. These runners are optimized specifically for lightweight automation tasks, issue operations, and short-running jobs rather than standard, heavy-duty CI/CD builds [2][4][7].

cssnr/mirror-repository-action action.yml Docker container
💡 Result:
The cssnr/mirror-repository-action is a GitHub Action designed to mirror a Git repository to a remote host [1][2]. Based on its configuration, it is not explicitly defined as a Docker container-based action in its main action.yml, but rather utilizes standard GitHub Actions runtime environments (typically Linux runners like ubuntu-latest) [1][3]. Technical details regarding the action include: 1. Runtime: The action is designed to run on GitHub-hosted runners (e.g., runs-on: ubuntu-latest) [1][2]. 2. Configuration: The action does not use a Dockerfile-based container action definition (which would specify "runs: image: Dockerfile"). Instead, it is configured to use built-in execution steps [4]. 3. Purpose: It facilitates the mirroring of repositories to remote platforms like Codeberg by providing inputs for the target host, repository owner, name, and authentication credentials [1][5]. 4. Inputs: The action requires credentials (password/token) and either a repository URL or host information to function [3][6]. For the most accurate and up-to-date implementation, you can refer to the official repository's action.yml file and the getting started guide provided by the author [1][6].

github super-linter action Docker container action metadata
💡 Result:
The GitHub Super-Linter action uses a Docker container action metadata structure, defined in an action.yml file at the root of the repository [1][2]. As a Docker-based action, its metadata file specifies the following key components [1][3]: 1. Runs: The 'using' key is set to 'docker' [1][3]. 2. Image: The 'image' key points to the official Docker container image, typically hosted on the GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) (e.g., ghcr.io/super-linter/super-linter) [1][2]. 3. Branding: It includes metadata for the GitHub Marketplace, such as an icon ('check-square') and color ('white') [1][3]. Key characteristics of this metadata configuration include: - No Inputs: The Super-Linter action does not define 'inputs' in its action.yml [2]. Instead, it relies exclusively on environment variables passed within the 'env' block of a user's workflow file to handle configuration [2][4]. - Execution: Because it is a container action, GitHub Actions pulls the specified image, starts the container, and executes the predefined entrypoint (e.g., /action/lib/linter.sh) to perform the linting tasks [2]. - Versioning: The action.yml file typically uses tags to reference specific releases of the Docker image, ensuring stability in CI pipelines [1][5]. Users consume this action by referencing it in a workflow step with 'uses: super-linter/super-linter@', while providing necessary configuration through the 'env' mapping [6][7].

Use a standard Ubuntu runner for Docker actions. reviewdog/action-actionlint and cssnr/mirror-repository-action use Docker execution, which ubuntu-slim does not support. Set both jobs to ubuntu-24.04, or replace these Docker actions with non-Docker implementations.

In @.github/workflows/ci.yml at line 519, Replace ubuntu-slim with ubuntu-24.04
for the jobs invoking Docker-based actions: update the affected runner in
.github/workflows/ci.yml at lines 519-519 and the corresponding runner in
.github/workflows/mirror.yml at lines 19-19. Keep the existing Docker actions
and job behavior unchanged.
