Invalid network names on podman

[rhbvkleef]

I am running a Forgejo runner (which uses act under the hood) in conjunction with Podman. In general this works fine, but there's an issue with creating network names if the job-id's have spaces in them. The issue appears to occur here. Specifically, Podman requires network names to conform to the regex [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*, but obviously, if the job-id contains one or more spaces, this will not be the case.

I've already submitted a bug report for Forgejo Runner, and that contains more information on how exactly I am running it.

I'm sorry for this slightly unconventional bug report, but I couldn't really fit it in the common bug template, as I'm not running act directly.

This is an invalid workflow file per GitHub Actions Docs: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_id

I would turn this issue more towards, missing job-id validation of forgejo.

Please verify that issues you open here can be reproduced on our side.
