GitHub Runner Docker Image [GRDI]

This is a Docker image for the GitHub Actions Runner.

This image can run multiple runners without needing to have a separate runner installation for each

Usage

Just create following docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  runner:
    image: "ghcr.io/deadlinecode/grdi:release"
    environment:
      - RUNNER_TOKEN=XXX
      - RUNNER_REPO=https://github.com/owner/repo
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data

You can find the RUNNER_TOKEN by creating a new self-hosted runner on any repo and copy the token from the config command. You should also set the RUNNER_REPO to the same repo you got the token from.

By default the runner uses "GRDI Runner" as the name. If you want to change this or any other setting you can use following environment variables:

• RUNNER_NAME - runner name
• RUNNER_WORKDIR - runner working directory
• RUNNER_LABELS - runner labels
• RUNNER_GROUP - runner group

As soon as you are done configuring just run docker-compose up -d and the runner will start.

Caution

Please be aware that these env vars are only taken into account on the first startup/setup. If you want to change the settings after that you will need to edit the data/.runner file and restart the container.

Examples

Run a single runner

services:
  runner:
    image: "ghcr.io/deadlinecode/grdi:release"
    environment:
      - RUNNER_TOKEN=XXX
      - RUNNER_REPO=https://github.com/owner/repo
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data

Run multiple runners

Note the two different directories for the runners (data1 and data2)
Also note the different runner names (required if both runners are running on the same repo)

services:
  runner1:
    image: "ghcr.io/deadlinecode/grdi:release"
    environment:
      - RUNNER_TOKEN=XXX
      - RUNNER_REPO=https://github.com/owner/repo
      - RUNNER_NAME=My Runner 1
    volumes:
      - ./data1:/data
  runner2:
    image: "ghcr.io/deadlinecode/grdi:release"
    environment:
      - RUNNER_TOKEN=XXX
      - RUNNER_REPO=https://github.com/owner/repo
      - RUNNER_NAME=MyRunner2
    volumes:
      - ./data2:/data

Run a single runner with getting access to its working directory

This will link the working directory the runner uses to ./work so you can access the build files of a job

services:
  runner:
    image: "ghcr.io/deadlinecode/grdi:release"
    environment:
      - RUNNER_TOKEN=XXX
      - RUNNER_REPO=https://github.com/owner/repo
      - RUNNER_WORKDIR=/work
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./work:/work
