Custom Ubuntu OCI images A set of custom Ubuntu OCI images, primarily for use with Forgejo Actions on Forgejo Runner.

This is a fork of catthehacker/docker_images; used to create the ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu images.
We have been using these docker images for some time, and they work well.
However, there's some tools we'd like to have in them pre-installed to save workflow time,
bandwidth usage, and reduce reliance on Canonical server stability.

Notable modifications from the original catthehacker Docker images are:

• Inclusion of gli.
  • This is my personal CLI tool that I add things I find useful to.
• Pre-installation of AppImageTool and required dependencies:
  • zsync
  • desktop-file-utils
  • appstream
  • libfuse2 (22.04) OR libfuse2t64 (24.04)
• Automatic inclusion of git.ryujinx.app into SSH known hosts.
• Pre-installation of 7zip via apt.
• Ubuntu 20.04 as well as 32-bit ARM images are not created.
• We do not automatically create the custom or rust build flavors.
  • They (mostly Rust) take way too long to make, and we don't even use Rust in any project.
• We do not automatically create the gh build flavor.
  • These images are not meant for use via GitHub, so no need to have a build variant specific to its CLI utility.
  • gli can replace the primary function for using gh in CI, downloading releases matching a file pattern.

Important

When updates will be applied to images

• A package that will be required for action(s) to work properly might be added/removed/changed
• Any maintenance that will be required due to:
  • GitHub Container Registry
  • GitHub Actions
  • nektos/act
• Performance and/or disk space improvements
