Problem with running action on private agent about github-action HOT 4 CLOSED

The ubuntu user is available in the docker images and it's only used for the child container. So what are your logs?

We need to override the docker group, otherwise renovate container won't have access to docker socket.

Also the docker group id on GitHub hosted agent and renovate image are different, that's why we need to override it for the action. Search closed issues about it.

here is sample of error

Do you have a docker group on the docker host? I think that is required to get renovate to grant expected group

from github-action.

@piotrwielgolaski-tomtom if i remove the docker user for hosted agent we get access denied too, see #553.

So the only solution is to add a new config option to override / disable user config.
