A runner for Gitea based on act.
Go to file
haxwithaxe 130b9f1877 Added environment variable for run.sh to specify runner state file. (#377)
Added environment variable `RUNNER_STATE_FILE` to let users specify
where `run.sh` looks for the runner JSON file. Defaults to ``.runner``
to preserve the original behavior.

Addresses issue #368. It's not my preferred solution but it's the least invasive one I can think of.

I'm happy to make any changes you want.

I didn't see an appropriate place to reference the change in the documentation. I will add documentation wherever you think is appropriate.

To test this I did the following:
* Built an image with the `make docker` command and pushed it to my private registry.
* Added that private image as the image in my existing docker stack that was exhibiting the behavior described in #368.
* Added the RUNNER_STATE_FILE environment variable pointing to the runner JSON file set in my `config.yml` (``/data/runner.json`` in this case).
* Configured a new runner in gitea and added the token as an environment variable in the stack config.
* Deployed the stack and verified the new runner was recognized (in the idle state).
* Force updated the runner service to restart the container.
* Verified the same runner was still recognized in gitea (in the idle state) once it was back up and running.

Here is the relevant config. It's stored as a template so I've left the things that would normally be redacted as they are in the template.

```
    runner:
     image: hub.hax.in.net/haxwithaxe/act_runner:dev1
      networks:
        - swarm-net
      environment:
       RUNNER_STATE_FILE: /data/runner.json
        CONFIG_FILE: /data/config.yml
        GITEA_INSTANCE_URL: "https://git_gitea"
        GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN: "{{ git_runner_reg_token }}"
        GITEA_RUNNER_NAME: "git_runner"
      volumes:
        - runner_data:/data
        - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
```

`runner_data` is a glusterfs subvolume

Thanks for creating this gitea specific fork. Apart from the issue this pull request addresses it works so well I don't have to think about it once it's set up.

act runner

Act runner is a runner for Gitea based on Gitea fork of act.

Installation

Prerequisites

Docker Engine Community version is required for docker mode. To install Docker CE, follow the official install instructions.

Download pre-built binary

Visit here and download the right version for your platform.

Build from source

make build

Build a docker image

make docker

Quickstart

Actions are disabled by default, so you need to add the following to the configuration file of your Gitea instance to enable it:

[actions]
ENABLED=true

Register

./act_runner register

And you will be asked to input:

  1. Gitea instance URL, like http://192.168.8.8:3000/. You should use your gitea instance ROOT_URL as the instance argument and you should not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as instance IP;
  2. Runner token, you can get it from http://192.168.8.8:3000/admin/actions/runners;
  3. Runner name, you can just leave it blank;
  4. Runner labels, you can just leave it blank.

The process looks like:

INFO Registering runner, arch=amd64, os=darwin, version=0.1.5.
WARN Runner in user-mode.
INFO Enter the Gitea instance URL (for example, https://gitea.com/):
http://192.168.8.8:3000/
INFO Enter the runner token:
fe884e8027dc292970d4e0303fe82b14xxxxxxxx
INFO Enter the runner name (if set empty, use hostname: Test.local):

INFO Enter the runner labels, leave blank to use the default labels (comma-separated, for example, ubuntu-20.04:docker://node:16-bullseye,ubuntu-18.04:docker://node:16-buster,linux_arm:host):

INFO Registering runner, name=Test.local, instance=http://192.168.8.8:3000/, labels=[ubuntu-latest:docker://node:16-bullseye ubuntu-22.04:docker://node:16-bullseye ubuntu-20.04:docker://node:16-bullseye ubuntu-18.04:docker://node:16-buster].
DEBU Successfully pinged the Gitea instance server
INFO Runner registered successfully.

You can also register with command line arguments.

./act_runner register --instance http://192.168.8.8:3000 --token <my_runner_token> --no-interactive

If the registry succeed, it will run immediately. Next time, you could run the runner directly.

Run

./act_runner daemon

Run with docker

docker run -e GITEA_INSTANCE_URL=https://your_gitea.com -e GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN=<your_token> -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name my_runner gitea/act_runner:nightly

Configuration

You can also configure the runner with a configuration file. The configuration file is a YAML file, you can generate a sample configuration file with ./act_runner generate-config.

./act_runner generate-config > config.yaml

You can specify the configuration file path with -c/--config argument.

./act_runner -c config.yaml register # register with config file
./act_runner -c config.yaml daemon # run with config file
