Can I use the offcial github runner images?

[liudonghua123]

Hi, I read the docs on https://github.com/nektos/act/blob/master/IMAGES.md, it seems the images list there are third-parties, not the offcial ones. Is there any reasons why these images are required or recommend then the offcial ones?

And can I use the offcial github runner images? And how to do it?

You can take this one:

@KnisterPeter Thanks, I am not familiar with github runner images, is the official https://github.com/actions/runner-images only provides VM template, not docker images, while https://github.com/nektos/act#alternative-runner-images use some docker images built from https://github.com/actions/runner-images?

Me neither. Sorry.

GitHub doesn't provide images at all due to licencing issues
