Problem

Performing a simple git checkout using official checkout action fails in a legacy self hosted runner running amazon linux 2 because newer versions of nodejs(>= 20) requires a newer version of GLIBC which is not available in these operating systems.

Solution

Use bash to perform the checkout in the action code i.e

replace the line

- uses: actions/checkout@v3

with

- name: Checkout
  run: |
    git clone "https://github.com/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}.git" "${GITHUB_WORKSPACE}"
