# Gitea Act Runner configuration
# Managed by Ansible - edit this file, then re-run the playbook.
log:
# The level of logging, can be trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal
level: info
runner:
# Where to store the registration result.
file: .runner
# Execute how many tasks concurrently at the same time.
capacity: 1
# Extra environment variables to run jobs.
envs:
A_TEST_ENV_NAME_1: a_test_env_value_1
A_TEST_ENV_NAME_2: a_test_env_value_2
# Extra environment variables to run jobs from a file.
# It will be ignored if it's empty or the file doesn't exist.
env_file: .env
# The timeout for a job to be finished.
# Please note that the Gitea instance also has a timeout (3h by default) for the job.
# So the job could be stopped by the Gitea instance if it's timeout is shorter than this.
timeout: 3h
# The timeout for the runner to wait for running jobs to finish when shutting down.
# Any running jobs that haven't finished after this timeout will be cancelled.
shutdown_timeout: 0s
# Whether skip verifying the TLS certificate of the Gitea instance.
insecure: false
# The timeout for fetching the job from the Gitea instance.
fetch_timeout: 5s
# The interval for fetching the job from the Gitea instance.
fetch_interval: 2s
# The github_mirror of a runner is used to specify the mirror address of the github that pulls the action repository.
# It works when something like `uses: actions/checkout@v4` is used and DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL is set to github,
# and github_mirror is not empty. In this case,
# it replaces https://github.com with the value here, which is useful for some special network environments.
github_mirror: ''
# The labels of a runner are used to determine which jobs the runner can run, and how to run them.
# Like: "macos-arm64:host" or "ubuntu-latest:docker://docker.gitea.com/runner-images:ubuntu-latest"
# Find more images provided by Gitea at https://gitea.com/docker.gitea.com/runner-images .
# If it's empty when registering, it will ask for inputting labels.
# If it's empty when execute `daemon`, will use labels in `.runner` file.
labels:
- "ubuntu-latest:docker://docker.gitea.com/runner-images:ubuntu-latest"
- "ubuntu-24.04:docker://docker.gitea.com/runner-images:ubuntu-24.04"

cache:
# Enable cache server to use actions/cache.
enabled: true
# The directory to store the cache data.
# If it's empty, the cache data will be stored in $HOME/.cache/actcache.
dir: ""
# The host of the cache server.
# It's not for the address to listen, but the address to connect from job containers.
# So 0.0.0.0 is a bad choice, leave it empty to detect automatically.
host: ""
# The port of the cache server.
# 0 means to use a random available port.
port: 0
# The external cache server URL. Valid only when enable is true.
# If it's specified, act_runner will use this URL as the ACTIONS_CACHE_URL rather than start a server by itself.
# The URL should generally end with "/".
external_server: ""
container:
# Specifies the network to which the container will connect.
# Could be host, bridge or the name of a custom network.
# If it's empty, act_runner will create a network automatically.
network: ""
# Whether to use privileged mode or not when launching task containers (privileged mode is required for Docker-in-Docker).
privileged: false
# And other options to be used when the container is started (eg, --add-host=my.gitea.url:host-gateway).
options:
# The parent directory of a job's working directory.
# NOTE: There is no need to add the first '/' of the path as act_runner will add it automatically.
# If the path starts with '/', the '/' will be trimmed.
# For example, if the parent directory is /path/to/my/dir, workdir_parent should be path/to/my/dir
# If it's empty, /workspace will be used.
workdir_parent:
# Volumes (including bind mounts) can be mounted to containers. Glob syntax is supported, see https://github.com/gobwas/glob
# You can specify multiple volumes. If the sequence is empty, no volumes can be mounted.
# For example, if you only allow containers to mount the `data` volume and all the json files in `/src`, you should change the config to:
# valid_volumes:
# - data
# - /src/*.json
# If you want to allow any volume, please use the following configuration:
# valid_volumes:
# - '**'
valid_volumes: []
# overrides the docker client host with the specified one.
# If it's empty, act_runner will find an available docker host automatically.
# If it's "-", act_runner will find an available docker host automatically, but the docker host won't be mounted to the job containers and service containers.
# If it's not empty or "-", the specified docker host will be used. An error will be returned if it doesn't work.
docker_host: ""
# Pull docker image(s) even if already present
force_pull: true
# Rebuild docker image(s) even if already present
force_rebuild: false
# Always require a reachable docker daemon, even if not required by act_runner
require_docker: false
# Timeout to wait for the docker daemon to be reachable, if docker is required by require_docker or act_runner
docker_timeout: 0s
host:
# The parent directory of a job's working directory.
# If it's empty, $HOME/.cache/act/ will be used.
