Currently it is not possible to use the stdout of Docker image in a GitHub action. This would be useful if one wants to do some tests based on stdout but not only exit codes.
I was able to do that by making the changes below.
1- add `docker-entrypoint.sh`` to set action output variable
#!/bin/sh
set -e
echo "arguments: $@"
step_stdout=$(exec cffconvert "$@")
echo $step_stdout
echo "::set-output name=step_stdout::$step_stdout"
2- modify the Dockerfile to use entrypoint shell script
FROM python:3.9-alpine
RUN apk --no-cache add build-base
RUN python3 -m pip install cffconvert==2.0.0
WORKDIR /app
COPY ./docker-entrypoint.sh /app/
ENTRYPOINT ["/app/docker-entrypoint.sh"]
The changes I made in the GitHub action can be seen here:

You can see an job with stdout here:
