Action Summary

This GitHub Action automates the setup of Docker CE on Linux, macOS, and Windows runners by downloading, installing, and configuring the Docker daemon. It is particularly useful for pinning Docker to specific versions, customizing daemon settings, or enabling Docker on runners where it is not pre-installed. Key capabilities include support for custom configurations, compatibility with multiple operating systems, and integration with macOS virtualization options (excluding ARM-based macOS runners).
