Introduction

This repository build docker image for Forgejo runners.

Github Actions runs task on it's own VM (not Docker container). So you need to build runner images by yourself.

---

Use custom runners

Follow Forgejo Runner installation and install runner.

After enter runner's name, you need to add labels for the runner:

INFO Enter the runner labels, leave blank to use the default labels ...

enter custom runner image name:

ubuntu-22.04:docker://johnroyer/forgejo-runners:ubuntu-2204

then, update workflow and use the custom ubuntu-22.04 image as runner:

on: [push]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    steps:

This is a concept prove for now. There are a lot of difference between Github Actions runner. I am trying to find what should be installed in base image and try to make image simple and small:

• Install basic CI/CD tools on Ubuntu base image
• Find which tool version should be installed on different Ubuntu release
• build image for common linux distributions
