Testing GH Actions with ACT

Need to have credentials in a .secrets file, copy and rename .secrets.example to .secrets, then fill out blank fields. Required for docker/metadata-action to read...something. Fails with Parameter token or opts.auth is required if they are not supplied.

An ENV file can also be made by copy and renaming .env.example. Set NO_DOCKER_BUILD=true if you only want to test APP_VERSION and docker tags output.

If running a full docker build for multi-runner workflows you will need to create an artifact server for ACT to work:

docker pull ghcr.io/jefuller/artifact-server:latest
docker run -d --name artifact-server -p 8082:8080 --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway -e AUTH_KEY=foo ghcr.io/jefuller/artifact-server:latest

Run the following from this directory to make use of .actrc and proper working directory.
