Build with github actions #584

Issue Description

I tried to fork this repo and build with github actions, but it did not worked. Anyone an idea if there is a workaround or maybe I did something wrong ?

See my repo: https://github.com/incyi/metasploitable3/actions/runs/4027872515/jobs/6924112049

This is unlikely to be possible to build in github action as the build process interacts with full virtualization environments and needs resources more complex than actions are really best suited for.

There are also currently a couple issue with builds the first of which is #575 which needs to address that files needed during the build can no longer be obtained during the packer build process. This may be reworked the coming months to restore deployment capabilities.
