runner-images
Official docker images used by act_runner to run workflows.
You can find the images on Docker Hub.
Currently, we have not chosen to build the image ourselves, as catthehacker/docker_images has done an excellent job of this. We don't need to reinvent the wheel.
So, we build images from catthehacker/ubuntu:* or node:*, then install additional packages if needed for act_runner to work.
Images
We provide three kinds of images, "default", "slim" and "full".
Default images
Default images are based on catthehacker/ubuntu:act-*, and are used by default in act_runner.
They contain most of the tools needed to run workflows and are always recommended if your runner is not disk-space constrained.

Slim images
Slim images are based on node:20-*-slim.
They contain Node.js to run basic workflows and set up more development tools if needed.
Their size is much smaller, which is friendly to disk-space constrained runners.

Full images
Full images are based on catthehacker/ubuntu:full-*, which contains all tools provided by GitHub Actions runners.
They have huge sizes, but are useful if you need to run workflows in a GitHub Actions compatible environment.
Please note that full images support amd64 architecture only.
