Hi, I can't find anything does act support container images and can I use it in matrix?
On example, if I try this:

jobs:
  test:
    name: Test
    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: ['ubuntu:18.04', 'debian:10']
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container: ${{ matrix.os }}

I get error:
Error: invalid reference format

OS: MacOS
Act version: act version 0.2.14
