[Draft Until App(s) Published]  - Technically, this is my second App but who is actually at this point. 

 

I created an Unraid app for running self-hosted Github runners for repos as a fun project. I took myoung34/github-runner  and converted to an Unraid App because I said I would in this thread: 

 

If you're interested in using it, all you to do is 

 

• Have github account 🙄
• Create new gtihub project 

• Go to your personal repository on Github.

• Click on the "Settings" tab.

• Click on "Actions" in the left sidebar.

• Click on "Add runner".

• Copy the token and url that shows up in the configure section. Ex:

./config.cmd --url --> [URL] <---  --token --->[TOKEN]<--->

 

In Unraid 

• set URL and Token to above the above information
• set /tmp/github-runner-your-repo to some share on your unraid NAS

 

Pro-Tip: Make sure the working patch is unique of you have multiple containers. Example Below:

 

/mnt/user/misc/actions-runner/user/project/1/

/mnt/user/misc/actions-runner/user/project/2/

/mnt/user/misc/actions-runner/user/project/.../

Was just looking for it! thanks for converting it to UD!

 

I tried running it and it was running/idle. I changed the "runs-on" from "ubuntu-latest"to "self-hosted"  on one of my workflows/actions, but I found an issue with the Docker Buildx set up. any idea how to resolve this issue?

UD Docker Template Config:

 

 

Any help is appreciated! @QuentinM

Issue

As I mentioned in the org-level thread, I was able to set up this repo-level runner and have it process jobs.

 

However, it requires a lot of babysitting at the moment. Almost daily it becomes unregistered from the repo and I have to generate a new token and update it in the template config so that it gets re-registered with the repo. My hunch is that this happens when the container is stopped or restarted.

 

Any idea if there's a way to fix this issue so it works more hands off?

Sorry for the late response, but given Unraid support stack sets, I don't use this docker app anymore.  Below is an example my compose file and env configuration 

Compose File

 

services:
  github-runner:
    container_name: ${RUNNER_NAME}
    image: myoung34/github-runner:latest
    environment:
      ORG_NAME: ${ORG_NAME}
      RUNNER_NAME: ${RUNNER_NAME}
      RUNNER_TOKEN: ${RUNNER_TOKEN}
      RUNNER_WORKDIR: ${RUNNER_WORKDIR}/work
      RUNNER_SCOPE: 'org'
      LABELS: linux,x64
    security_opt:
      - label:disable
    volumes:
      - '/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock'
      - '${RUNNER_WORKDIR}:${RUNNER_WORKDIR}'

 

Env. File 

RUNNER_NAME=<ex:unraid_gh_runner_ex_1>
RUNNER_TOKEN=<ex:KeyfromRunner>
ORG_NAME=<yourOrgName>
RUNNER_WORKDIR=<example:/mnt/user/misc/actions-runner/unraid_gh_runner_ex_1>
