# Usage Examples for `act_runner`
Welcome to our collection of usage and deployment examples specifically designed for Gitea setups. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, you'll find practical resources here that you can directly apply to enhance your Gitea experience. We encourage you to contribute your own insights and knowledge to make this collection even more comprehensive and valuable.
A collection of usage and deployment examples.
| Section | Description |
|-----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [`docker`](docker) | This section provides you with scripts and instructions tailored for running containers on a workstation or server where Docker is installed. It simplifies the process of setting up and managing your Gitea deployment using Docker. |
| [`docker-compose`](docker-compose) | In this section, you'll discover examples demonstrating how to utilize docker-compose to efficiently handle your Gitea deployments. It offers a straightforward approach to managing multiple containerized components of your Gitea setup. |
| [`kubernetes`](kubernetes) | If you're utilizing Kubernetes clusters for your infrastructure, this section is specifically designed for you. It presents examples and guidelines for configuring Gitea deployments within Kubernetes clusters, enabling you to leverage the scalability and flexibility of Kubernetes. |
| [`vm`](vm) | This section is dedicated to examples that assist you in setting up Gitea on virtual or physical servers. Whether you're working with virtual machines or physical hardware, you'll find helpful resources to guide you through the deployment process. |
We hope these resources provide you with valuable insights and solutions for your Gitea setup. Feel free to explore, contribute, and adapt these examples to suit your specific requirements.

### Run `act_runner` in a Docker Container
The following assumes:
* a docker server runs on the host
* the docker group of the host is GID 133
* a `.runner` file exists in /tmp/data
* a `runner-config.yml` file exists in /tmp/data
```sh
docker run -e GITEA_INSTANCE_URL=http://192.168.8.18:3000 -e GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN=<runner_token> -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $PWD/data:/data --name my_runner gitea/act_runner:nightly
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /tmp/data:/data --user 1000:133 --rm code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner:3.0.0 forgejo-runner --config runner-config.yaml daemon
```
The `/data` directory inside the docker container contains the runner API keys after registration.
It must be persisted, otherwise the runner would try to register again, using the same, now defunct registration token.
The workflows will run using the host docker srever

## Using Rootless Docker with`act_runner`
Here is a simple example of how to set up `act_runner` with rootless Docker. It has been created with Debian, but other Linux should work the same way.
Note: This procedure needs a real login shell -- using `sudo su` or other method of accessing the account will fail some of the steps below.
As `root`:
- Create a user to run both `docker` and `act_runner`. In this example, we use a non-privileged account called `rootless`.
```bash
useradd -m rootless
passwd rootless
```
- Install [`docker-ce`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
- (Recommended) Disable the system-wide Docker daemon
``systemctl disable --now docker.service docker.socket``
As the `rootless` user:
- Follow the instructions for [enabling rootless mode](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/)
- Add the following lines to the `/home/rootless/.bashrc`:
```bash
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/home/rootless/.docker/run
export PATH=/home/rootless/bin:$PATH
export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1001/docker.sock
```
- Reboot. Ensure that the Docker process is working.
- Create a directory for saving `act_runner` data between restarts
`mkdir /home/rootless/act_runner`
- Register the runner from the data directory
```bash
cd /home/rootless/act_runner
act_runner register
```
- Generate a `act_runner` configuration file in the data directory. Edit the file to adjust for the system.
```bash
act_runner generate-config >/home/rootless/act_runner/config
```
- Create a new user-level`systemd` unit file as `/home/rootless/.config/systemd/user/act_runner.service` with the following contents:
```bash
Description=Gitea Actions runner
Documentation=https://gitea.com/gitea/act_runner
After=docker.service
[Service]
Environment=PATH=/home/rootless/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/rootless/bin:/home/rootless/bin:/home/rootless/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
Environment=DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1001/docker.sock
ExecStart=/usr/bin/act_runner daemon -c /home/rootless/act_runner/config
ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID
WorkingDirectory=/home/rootless/act_runner
TimeoutSec=0
RestartSec=2
Restart=always
StartLimitBurst=3
StartLimitInterval=60s
LimitNOFILE=infinity
LimitNPROC=infinity
LimitCORE=infinity
TasksMax=infinity
Delegate=yes
Type=notify
NotifyAccess=all
KillMode=mixed
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
```
- Reboot
After the system restarts, check that the`act_runner` is working and that the runner is connected to Gitea.
````bash
systemctl --user status act_runner
journalctl --user -xeu act_runner
