Issue using dynamic build and requirement on GLIBC

[klauern]

Hello!

I don't have a way to share this, but we are trying to use this action on our self-hosted runners, and ran into an issue with opa requiring GLIBC:

Run opa test configuration_rules/ -v
  opa test configuration_rules/ -v
  shell: /bin/bash -e {0}
opa: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by opa)
opa: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by opa)
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

I ended up switching this action out by curl'ing the static binary and adding it to the path, but it would be nice if this action did that as well. Here's my substitution for the setup-opa task:

        run: |
          curl -L -o opa https://openpolicyagent.org/downloads/v0.39.0/opa_linux_amd64_static
          chmod 755 opa
          mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
          mv opa ~/.local/bin/opa
          echo "$HOME/.local/bin" >> $GITHUB_PATH

Thanks for the report! I think it would solve your problem if we added a new input calledstatic to select which binary you need, right?

Something like:

 ...
  static:
    description: Install the statically linked version of the OPA binary.  Usefull when GLIBC is not installed on self-hosted runners.
    required: false
    default: false

(PS let me know if you want to contribute the code too)

@tim775,
I have the same problem and I am interested to contribute the code.

@humbertoc-silva great do you need any help getting started?

Hi @tim775,
Maybe I need some help, but first I will look at the project and try something based on your suggestion to include a new input parameter.
