First hand experience to implement this feature can be found at https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/9406. In a nutshell it is a service container in the CI that randomly uses massive amounts of memory (>50GB RSS) but normally less than 100MB. --- See also the [matching documentation pull request](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs/pulls/1539). --- It is already possible to limit the memory used by all containers in the config file: ```yaml container: options: --memory 200M ``` This limit can be further reduced (but not increased) by the same option in a job: ```yaml jobs: job: runs-on: docker container: image: code.forgejo.org/oci/node:20-bookworm options: --memory 200M steps: - run: echo OK ``` or a service container: ```yaml job: my-job: runs-on: docker services: pgsql: image: postgres:15 options: --memory 1G ``` Refs https://docs.docker.com/engine/containers/resource_constraints/#limit-a-containers-access-to-memory <!--start release-notes-assistant--> <!--URL:https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner--> - features - [PR](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/1079): <!--number 1079 --><!--line 0 --><!--description ZmVhdDogYWxsb3cgLS1tZW1vcnkgaW4gd29ya2Zsb3cgY29udGFpbmVyIG9wdGlvbnM=-->feat: allow --memory in workflow container options<!--description--> <!--end release-notes-assistant--> Reviewed-on: https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/1079 Reviewed-by: Michael Kriese <michael.kriese@gmx.de> Reviewed-by: Mathieu Fenniak <mfenniak@noreply.code.forgejo.org> Co-authored-by: Earl Warren <contact@earl-warren.org> Co-committed-by: Earl Warren <contact@earl-warren.org> |

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 is distributed under the terms of the GPL version 3.0 or any later version.
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 )
