System information

• Operating System: Linux
• Architecture: x64 (64-bit)
• Apple M1: no
• Docker version: 20.10.9-ce
• Docker image used in act: (discussed below)
• act version: act version 0.2.24-31-g83a28d9

Expected behaviour

That using either ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest or ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:full-latest, I should be able to make a working directory in the current repo and be able to apt install gcc-11.

Actual behaviour

Here's what I experience:

• With ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest (a4d332757f9a) and --bind:

  • mkdir works
  • no gcc-11

• With ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest (a4d332757f9a) and without --bind:

  • mkdir works
  • no gcc-11

• With ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:full-latest (469ca44c2e1c) and --bind:

  • mkdir fails
  • has gcc-11

• With ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:full-latest (469ca44c2e1c) and without --bind:

  • mkdir fails
  • has gcc-11

Workflow and/or repository

name: build

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: deps
        run: |
          sudo apt update -y
          sudo apt search gcc-11
          mkdir moo

act output

I can provide this, but it is pretty boring, it simply reflects what I gave above; that is:

• ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest allows me to make directories, but doesn't have gcc-11
• ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:full-latest has gcc-11, but doesn't allow me to make directories

Output of act -P ubuntu-latest=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:full-latest --bind -v

@catthehacker apologies for the duplicate.

How does ubuntu:act-latest compare to ubuntu:full-latest? Is this documented anywhere?

Are these two the right way around? I thought that it was the opposite (i.e., that act-latest uses runner)?

Also, I think there's more to it than that -- the apt repos are different between them:gcc-11 exists as a package in ubuntu:full-latest but not in ubuntu:act-latest.

gcc-11 is not available in default repos for Ubuntu 20.04

Ah, okay, so full-latest contains the extra repos that GitHub supplies in their images? Is there a "full-latest including runner usage" image? It is okay if this is a no, but I just want to check.

I'm not trying to be annoying or difficult, but those two images are "quite different" different -- to match what a user might see running under Actions on GitHub, you really need something that is a combination of both of those (at least in my testing).
