make build
make docker
Actions are disabled by default, so you need to add the following to the configuration file of your Gitea instance to enable it:
[actions]
ENABLED=true
./act_runner register
And you will be asked to input:
- Gitea instance URL, like
http://192.168.8.8:3000/
. You should use your gitea instance ROOT_URL as the instance argument and you should not uselocalhost
or127.0.0.1
as instance IP; - Runner token, you can get it from
http://192.168.8.8:3000/admin/actions/runners
; - Runner name, you can just leave it blank;
- Runner labels, you can just leave it blank.
The process looks like:

INFO Runner registered successfully.
You can also register with command line arguments.
./act_runner register --instance http://192.168.8.8:3000 --token <my_runner_token> --no-interactive
If the registry succeed, it will run immediately. Next time, you could run the runner directly.
./act_runner daemon
docker run -e GITEA_INSTANCE_URL=https://your_gitea.com -e GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN=<your_token> -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name my_runner gitea/act_runner:nightly
You can also configure the runner with a configuration file.
The configuration file is a YAML file, you can generate a sample configuration file with ./act_runner generate-config
.
./act_runner generate-config > config.yaml
You can specify the configuration file path with -c
/--config
argument.
./act_runner -c config.yaml register # register with config file
./act_runner -c config.yaml daemon # run with config file
You can read the latest version of the configuration file online at config.example.yaml.
