Description

Most of the Github Actions in the website repo use a docker image called buoyantio/website-builder:v1.3.3. However, the Dockerfile that builds this image was removed in https://github.com/linkerd/website/pull/1465

This means that the make docker-build make target is broken and the image used in CI is not reproducible.

We should either restore this Dockerfile, or ideally, just switch to using the Devcontainer in the CI actions.

Research direction

Start with the website repository's GitHub Actions and the make docker-build target, then inspect the Devcontainer configuration and the removed Dockerfile history around pull request 1465. Done means the CI image is reproducible and make docker-build works, or the affected actions consistently use the Devcontainer instead.
