Help - Action to pull local docker image

[ReaperMantis]

Hello,
I hope this is an easy one, I couldn't find an answer for it.

I've got an action.yml that I would like to use a local docker image that's already built on my system: aarch64-cross-compile-toolkit.

$ docker images
REPOSITORY                      TAG               IMAGE ID       CREATED        SIZE
aarch64-cross-compile-toolkit   latest            628da6999786   12 hours ago   3.21GB
<none>                          <none>            62758cdd379e   20 hours ago   3.17GB
catthehacker/ubuntu             act-latest        9692d5061fe5   3 days ago     1.47GB
moby/buildkit                   buildx-stable-1   44f5d48d5c6c   2 months ago   219MB
tonistiigi/binfmt               latest            69b92b14f1eb   6 months ago   80.9MB

My action.yml is set up as follows:

name: "Cross-Compile Utility"
description: "Utility container for cross-compiling aarch64 software"
author: ""

inputs:
  command:
    description: "Command to run inside the cross-compilation container (e.g. makepkg -si, make, meson setup)"
    required: true
    default: "bash"

runs:
  using: "docker"
  image: "aarch64-cross-compile-toolkit:latest"
  args:
    - ${{ inputs.command }}

If the action uses image: "aarch64-cross-compile-toolkit:latest", then act will attempt to build a new image from a docker file in the same folder as the action. This is not what I want to do since the image is already built. act also names the image in its own way (act-github-actions-cross-compile-dockeraction:latest). If I put the docker file in the same directory, it will not build the image anyway. Here is an excerpt from the logs:

[Build Kernel and Headers/build]   🐳  docker build -t act-github-actions-cross-compile-dockeraction:latest /home/ReaperMantis/Workspace/Orange-Pi-Media-Server/.github/actions/cross-compile

[Build Kernel and Headers/build]   🐳  docker pull image=act-github-actions-cross-compile-dockeraction:latest platform= username= forcePull=false

[Build Kernel and Headers/build] [DEBUG] Image exists? false

[Build Kernel and Headers/build] Error response from daemon: pull access denied for act-github-actions-cross-compile-dockeraction, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied

If the action uses image: "docker://aarch64-cross-compile-toolkit:latest", act will attempt to get the image from docker.io.

[Build Kernel and Headers/build]   🐳  docker pull image=aarch64-cross-compile-toolkit:latest platform= username= forcePull=true
[Build Kernel and Headers/build] [DEBUG]   🐳  docker pull aarch64-cross-compile-toolkit:latest
[Build Kernel and Headers/build] [DEBUG] pulling image 'docker.io/library/aarch64-cross-compile-toolkit:latest' ()

[Build Kernel and Headers/build] Error response from daemon: pull access denied for aarch64-cross-compile-toolkit, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied

Is there a way to use the local image? Is there an alternative way to do the same thing?

As a workaround, I've run the command manually to create the image the way act is looking for:

$ docker build -t act-github-actions-cross-compile-dockeraction:latest /home/ReaperMantis/Workspace/Orange-Pi-Media-Server/.github/actions/cross-compile`
