 - use github actions to publish docker and make github release
 - check github updated yq action in marketplace
 - update github-action/Dockerfile to pin the newly published docker image digest:
-    skopeo inspect docker://docker.io/mikefarah/yq:4 | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(d['Digest'])"
+    skopeo inspect docker://docker.io/mikefarah/yq:4  --override-arch amd64 --override-os linux | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(d['Digest'])"
   then update the FROM line in github-action/Dockerfile with the new digest:
     FROM mikefarah/yq:4@sha256:<new-digest>
