The Docker image to use as the container to run the action.
The value can be the Docker base image name, a local Dockerfile in your repository, or a
public image in Docker Hub or another registry.
To reference a Dockerfile local to your repository, use a path relative to your action
metadata file.
The docker application will execute this file.
Overrides the Docker ENTRYPOINT in the Dockerfile, or sets it if one wasn't already
specified.
Use entrypoint when the Dockerfile does not specify an ENTRYPOINT or you want to
override the ENTRYPOINT instruction.
If you omit entrypoint, the commands you specify in the Docker ENTRYPOINT instruction will
execute.
The Docker ENTRYPOINT instruction has a *shell* form and *exec* form. The Docker ENTRYPOINTdocumentation recommends using the *exec* form of theENTRYPOINT`
instruction.
Allows you to run a script before the entrypoint action begins.
For example, you can use pre-entrypoint: to run a prerequisite setup script.
GitHub Actions uses docker run to launch this action, and runs the script inside a new
container that uses the same base image.
This means that the runtime state is different from the main entrypoint container, and any
states you require must be accessed in either the workspace, HOME, or as a STATE_
variable.
The pre-entrypoint: action always runs by default but you can override this using pre-if.
Allows you to run a cleanup script once the runs.entrypoint action has completed.
GitHub Actions uses docker run to launch this action.
Because GitHub Actions runs the script inside a new container using the same base image, the
runtime state is different from the main entrypoint container.
You can access any state you need in either the workspace, HOME, or as a STATE_ variable.
The post-entrypoint: action always runs by default but you can override this using
post-if.
An array of strings that define the inputs for a Docker container.
Inputs can include hardcoded strings.
GitHub passes the args to the container's ENTRYPOINT when the container starts up.
The args are used in place of the CMD instruction in a Dockerfile.
If you use CMD in your Dockerfile, use the guidelines ordered by preference: - Document
required arguments in the action's README and omit them from the CMD instruction.
Use defaults that allow using the action without specifying any args.
If the action exposes a --help flag, or something similar, use that to make your action
self-documenting.
Configures the image used for the Docker action.
