fix(security): ensure unique names for container images created by actions
Container images built by the runner are tagged with a unique name:

- based on the specified `uses` URL for remote actions.
- random for local actions.

In the case of local actions, this will create new tags for each run
but the images (and their layers) will be shared and not be
duplicated. The least recently used tags can be garbage collected by
tools such as https://github.com/stepchowfun/docuum.

Using a different method for creating the tag name for the remote
actions is to help with maintenance by establishing a direct relation
with the `uses` field. It was instead relying on a name transformed
multiple times which makes it more difficult to verify name collision
are not accidentally made possible by one of those transformations.

Without this fix, when a workflow ran a local [docker action](https://forgejo.org/docs/next/user/actions/actions/#docker-actions)
(e.g. the [example in the end-to-end
tests](8f920b4b7a/actions/example-force-rebuild/.forgejo/workflows/test.yml)),
it used an image tag that could collide with other workflows that
happen to use the same name.

The workaround for older runner versions is to set
[`[container].force_rebuild: true`](https://forgejo.org/docs/next/admin/actions/runner-installation/#configuration)
in the runner configuration file.

Forgejo Runner

A daemon that connects to a Forgejo instance and runs jobs for continuous integration. The installation and usage instructions are part of the Forgejo documentation.

Reporting security-related issues

Sensitive security-related issues should be reported to security@forgejo.org using encryption.

License

The Forgejo runner source code is distributed under the terms of the following licenses:

Architectures & OS

The Forgejo runner is supported and tested on amd64 and arm64 (binaries and containers) on Operating Systems based on the Linux kernel.

Work may be in progress for other architectures and you can browse the corresponding issues to figure out how they make progress. If you are interested in helping them move forward, open an issue. The most challenging part is to setup and maintain a native runner long term. Once it is supported by Forgejo, the runner is expected to be available 24/7 which can be challenging. Otherwise debugging any architecture specific problem won't be possible.

Hacking

The Forgejo runner is a dependency of the setup-forgejo action. See the full dependency graph for a global view.

Building

  • Install Go and make(1)
  • make build

Linting

  • make lint-check
  • make lint # will fix some lint errors

Testing

The workflow that runs in the CI uses similar commands.

Without a Forgejo instance

  • Install Docker
  • make test integration-test

The TestRunner_RunEvent test suite contains most integration tests with real-world workflows and is time-consuming to run. During development, it is helpful to run a specific test through a targeted command such as this:

  • go test -count=1 -run='TestRunner_RunEvent$/local-action-dockerfile$' ./act/runner

With a Forgejo instance

  • Run a Forgejo instance locally (for instance at http://0.0.0.0:8080) and create as shared secret
export FORGEJO_RUNNER_SECRET='AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'
export FORGEJO_URL=http://0.0.0.0:8080
forgejo forgejo-cli actions register --labels docker --name therunner --secret $FORGEJO_RUNNER_SECRET
  • make test integration-test # which will run addional tests because FORGEJO_URL is set

end-to-end

  • Follow the instructions from the end-to-end tests to run actions tests locally.
  • ./end-to-end.sh actions_teardown # stop the Forgejo and runner daemons running in the end-to-end environment
  • ( cd ~/clone-of-the-runner-repo ; make build ; cp forgejo-runner /tmp/forgejo-end-to-end/forgejo-runner ) # install the runner built from sources
  • ./end-to-end.sh actions_setup 13.0 # start Forgejo v13.0 and the runner daemon in the end-to-end environment
  • ./end-to-end.sh actions_verify_example echo # run the echo workflow
  • xdg-open http://127.0.0.1:3000/root/example-echo/actions/runs/1 # see the logs workflow
  • less /tmp/forgejo-end-to-end/forgejo-runner.log # analyze the runner logs
  • less /tmp/forgejo-end-to-end/forgejo-work-path/log/forgejo.log # analyze the Forgejo logs
