Description

What would you like added?

Is there currently a way where I can login to Dockerhub after installation of the runner? That way we don't get rate limited on pulls of images when running workflows.

Why is this needed?

. After docker hub adding stronger rate limits, this has become an issue on our CI pipeline.

Additional context

I have read some people have overcome this by adding EC2 post install script to the runners.

Is there a way to accomplish this on when using the actions runner controller on a k8s context?

Research direction

The issue names Actions Runner Controller on Kubernetes and links an EC2 post-install example, but no repository files or tests. Start by reviewing that example and the runner installation configuration for the Kubernetes setup. Done would require a clearly documented or implemented way to authenticate Docker Hub during runner installation and verify that workflow image pulls use it.
