Description

The OpenAstronomy Azure Pipelines tox template supports running tox inside docker containers. "This was originally added to support testing against 32bit linux builds using the manylinux official docker images, so there is specific support for these images."

There does not seem to be any public repos on GitHub using the manylinux option or any of the docker_ options. However, only astrofrog/fast-histogram and astropy/astropy-healpix are using the linux32 option.

Research direction

Start by comparing the OpenAstronomy Azure Pipelines tox template and the repository's reusable GitHub Actions workflows, then inspect the linked run_tox_env Docker documentation and the azure-pipelines.yml examples mentioned in the issue. The issue does not define the desired workflow interface or acceptance criteria, so completion would require clarifying which Docker and manylinux options should be supported.
