network constraints in docker-in-docker image

[ALL-SPACE-Anas]

Hi,

I'm trying to run images in arc dind containers and use that base environment for job steps. In other words, I have arc dind deployed. I'm trying to set a container to be used as base for steps within a job like this:

jobs:
  job1:
    runs-on: arc-runner-set-dind
    container:
      node:20
    steps:
      - run: apt update

      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

Now, apparently the container gets built and runs just fine. But any steps (even simple ones like apt update) either take forever to run and/or simply timeout. I suspect it has to do with the docker network settings within dind container but not sure what that would be. The run output looks something like this for above steps:

Run apt update 7m

I've tried experimenting with dns values like below:

    container:
      image: node:20
      options: --dns #######

but no luck so far. Anyone else struggling with this issue? Please any hint regarding this would be really appreciated.

Thanks
