root ownership to checkout files

[sahay-shashank]

I am facing issues in running the workflow as the files that I operate on are root owned but logged in user is a non-root.

The workflow file is as follows:

name: Go
on:
  workflow_dispatch: 
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: self-hosted
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4

    - name: Perform tasks inside DevContainer
      uses: devcontainers/ci@v0.2
      with:
        skipContainerUserIdUpdate: true
        noCache: true
        runCmd: |
          set -e
          echo "[INFO] whoami: $(whoami)"
          echo "[INFO] id (vscode): $(id vscode)"
          echo "[INFO] id (root): $(id root)"
          ls -ltrhg
          echo "[INFO] DevContainer Ready"
          echo "[INFO] Running tasks to test, generate coverage report and build"
          if ! task all; then
            echo "[ERROR] Failed to properly run the tasks"
            exit 1
          fi

The devcontainer.json is as follows:

// For format details, see https://aka.ms/devcontainer.json. For config options, see the
// README at: https://github.com/devcontainers/templates/tree/main/src/go .
{
	"name": "Go",
	// Or use a Dockerfile or Docker Compose file. More info: https://containers.dev/guide/dockerfile
	"build": {
		"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
		"args": {
			"VARIANT": "2-1.25-trixie"
		}
	},
	// Features to add to the dev container. More info: https://containers.dev/features.
	// "features": {},
	// Use 'forwardPorts' to make a list of ports inside the container available locally.
	// "forwardPorts": [],
	// Use 'postCreateCommand' to run commands after the container is created.
	// "postCreateCommand": "go version",
	// Configure tool-specific properties.
	// "customizations": {},
	// Uncomment to connect as root instead. More info: https://aka.ms/dev-containers-non-root.
	"remoteUser": "vscode"
}

The Dockerfile that I use is as follows:

ARG VARIANT=2-1.25-trixie
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/go:${VARIANT}

## Copy all the scripts
#
COPY scripts/*.sh /tmp/scripts/

## Install taskfile
#
RUN bash /tmp/scripts/install_taskfile.sh
USER vscode

I have a self-hosted GitHub Runner with the following configurations:

• rootless docker
• rootless GitHub runner service

Referred issue: #176

Am I configuring something wrong? Please let me know if any other information is required.
