Using the prebuilt binary, when executing

./act_runner daemon

I get

INFO[2023-08-03T07:36:04+02:00] Starting runner daemon
Error: daemon Docker Engine socket not found and docker_host config was invalid

Is your socket in the following path, if not you can specify it via modfiying container.docker_host in config.yaml.

"/var/run/docker.sock",
"/var/run/podman/podman.sock",
"$HOME/.colima/docker.sock",
"$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.sock",
`\\.\pipe\docker_engine`,
"$HOME/.docker/run/docker.sock",

Is your socket in the following path, if not you can specify it via modfiying `container.docker_host` in `config.yaml`. ``` "/var/run/docker.sock", "/var/run/podman/podman.sock", "$HOME/.colima/docker.sock", "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.sock", `\\.\pipe\docker_engine`, "$HOME/.docker/run/docker.sock", ```

Is your socket in the following path, if not you can specify it via an environment variable (DOCKER_HOST).
"/var/run/docker.sock",
"/var/run/podman/podman.sock",
"$HOME/.colima/docker.sock",
"$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.sock",
`\\.\pipe\docker_engine`,
"$HOME/.docker/run/docker.sock",

Sorry, I dont understand your answer. Do I need to have docker installed? I am using the prebuilt binary

Do I need to have docker installed?

It's not necessary.(But we recommend that you run jobs in container, see document)

If you are sure that you want to run jobs directly on the host only, you can specify your labels without image.(see https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/act-runner#labels). Then act_runner won't check that whether docker is running.

Then `act_runner` won't check that whether docker is running.

If you are sure that you want to run jobs directly on the host only, you can specify your labels without image in config file(via container.labels).(see https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/act-runner#labels). Then act_runner won't check that whether docker is running.

Now it is working but it throws a warning

WARN[2023-08-03T08:36:06+02:00] Because the Gitea instance is an old version, skip declare labels and version.

Never mind, It won't hinder you from using it.

This warning related to https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/24806. So after Gitea 1.21 relsead, you can change the labels of runner in config file without re-registering it.
