@lielran, thank you for your PR! It really makes sense here as I also recently noticed that the Docker container actions don't run on the self-hosted runner as Docker is not installed there by default.

Let me test your PR first and I will let you know.

close this for now since it wasn't working for me :/

@lielran Can you please specify what exactly doesn't work for you?

yes, sure.

I've tried multiple ways to install docker and use it within the runner.
first via the step - require sudo
then via user-input(run as root on the machine startup) - this works, I was able to install docker and add github user to the docker group, but I failed to use a docker step. probably because the machine needs to be restart after the installation(a normal reconnect ssh session usually solved that).

I created a custom image (base on amazon linux v2) with docker installed but end up with the same issues when trying to run docker info
