How to create such an action that runs a custom Dockerfile?

[@Bitovi]

Hey based! Great question.
To run a custom Dockerfile in a composite action, you can use the “using: ‘docker’” property of the runs section.
runs:
using: ‘docker’
image: ‘Dockerfile’
Here is an example:
github.com/bitovi/github-actions-deploy-eks-helm/blob/main/action.yaml#L89-L91

@@Bitovi Thank you so much for this information. I was able to do it by looking a multiple examples from GitHub, including the one you've provided. I'm wondering why it's not in the documentation though :)
