Support for Github ARM Runners

We experienced quite some issues when github updated their runners to ship with docker version 29.1.5 (previously was 27/28), so we decided to ensure we have control over which docker version is installed in our workflows. Thus we found this action and at the start everthing was looking great... for AMD64 runners at least.

Once we tried building multi-arch images for one of our projects, we observed very strange errors:

• like Image with name "..." not found (example) even though the image was just pulled a few seconds earlier

We tried a bunch of workarounds that were discussed here but none seemed to fix our issue - all attempts are also visible here.

Our last idea was to install docker differently... via apt instead of using docker/setup-docker-action. And to our supprise that solved all our issues (this run).

That made us curious: is this action supposed to be working on githubs official arm based runners? (e.g. ubuntu-24.04-arm) and if not, do you plan to add support for arm runners in the near future?

Start by reviewing the action's behavior on GitHub's ubuntu-24.04-arm runners and compare it with the linked failing and successful workflow runs. Determine whether ARM runners are supported and identify the changes or tests needed for Docker installation to work there; done means the reported multi-architecture workflow succeeds without the apt workaround.
