Sikuli needs a GUI to run, so on GitHub Actions you can either run it inside a virtual display like Xvfb, or trigger it on a self-hosted runner or remote VM that has a real desktop. For headless setups, Xvfb is usually enough, but if you’re testing actual desktop apps then a self-hosted runner is the better choice. try this as well 
- run: |
    sudo apt-get install -y xvfb openjdk-11-jdk
    Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1920x1080x24 &
    export DISPLAY=:1
    java -jar sikulix.jar -r your-test.sikuli
