By default, many Gitea runner environments do not include a Docker installation.
This can be problematic because Docker is required by many container-related workflows, including building, tagging, and publishing container images.
This action installs Docker (using the script at https://get.docker.com) when required and optionally configures Docker Buildx for modern image build workflows. Existing Docker installations are automatically detected and reused.
This allows container-based workflows to run consistently across Gitea runners without requiring every repository to implement its own Docker setup logic.
Inputs
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
setup-buildx |
Configure Docker Buildx after Docker installation. | true |
Usage
Install Docker with Buildx (default)
- name: Setup docker
uses: https://git.claeyscloud.com/david/gitea-actions/setup-docker@main
``
### Install Docker without Buildx
```yaml
- name: Setup Docker
uses: https://git.claeyscloud.com/david/gitea-actions/setup-docker@main
with:
setup-buildx: false
This installs Docker if required but skips Docker Buildx configuration
