# act runner Act runner is a runner for Gitea based on [Gitea fork](https://gitea.com/gitea/act) of [act](https://github.com/nektos/act). ## Installation ### Prerequisites Docker Engine Community version is required for docker mode. To install Docker CE, follow the official [install instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/). ### Download pre-built binary Visit https://dl.gitea.com/act_runner/ and download the right version for your platform. ### Build from source ```bash make build ``` ### Build a docker image ```bash make docker ``` ## Quickstart ### Register ```bash ./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/runners`; 3. Runner name, you can just leave it blank; 4. Runner labels, you can just leave it blank. The process looks like: ```text 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. ```bash ./act_runner register --instance http://192.168.8.8:3000 --token --no-interactive ``` If the registry succeed, it will run immediately. Next time, you could run the runner directly. ### Run ```bash ./act_runner daemon ``` ### 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`. ```bash ./act_runner generate-config > config.yaml ``` You can specify the configuration file path with `-c`/`--config` argument. ```bash ./act_runner -c config.yaml register # register with config file ./act_runner -c config.yaml deamon # run with config file ``` ### Run a docker container ```sh docker run -e GITEA_INSTANCE_URL=http://192.168.8.18:3000 -e GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN= -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name my_runner gitea/act_runner:nightly ```
