GitHub Actions Runner
Automatic configuration for running GitHub Actions as a service
Table of Contents
Description
This module will setup all of the files and configuration needed for GitHub Actions runner to work on Debian (Stretch and Buster) and CentOS7 hosts.
hiera configuration examples
This module supports configuration through hiera.
Creating an organization level Actions runner
github_actions_runner::ensure: present
github_actions_runner::base_dir_name: '/data/actions-runner'
github_actions_runner::package_name: 'actions-runner-linux-x64'
github_actions_runner::package_ensure: '2.277.1'
github_actions_runner::repository_url: 'https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/download'
github_actions_runner::org_name: 'my_github_organization'
github_actions_runner::personal_access_token: 'PAT'
github_actions_runner::user: 'root'
github_actions_runner::group: 'root'
github_actions_runner::instances:
example_org_instance:
labels:
- self-hosted-custom
Note, your personal_access_token has to contain the admin:org permission.
Creating an additional repository level Actions runner
github_actions_runner::instances:
example_org_instance:
labels:
- self-hosted-custom1
example_repo_instance:
repo_name: myrepo
labels:
- self-hosted-custom2
Note, your personal_access_token has to contain the repo permission.
Instance level overwrites
github_actions_runner::instances:
example_org_instance:
ensure: absent
labels:
- self-hosted-custom1
example_repo_instance:
org_name: overwritten_orgnization
repo_name: myrepo
labels:
- self-hosted-custom2
Adding a global proxy and overwriting an instance level proxy
github_actions_runner::http_proxy: http://proxy.local
github_actions_runner::https_proxy: http://proxy.local
github_actions_runner::instances:
example_org_instance:
http_proxy: http://instance_specific_proxy.local
https_proxy: http://instance_specific_proxy.local
no_proxy: example.com
labels:
- self-hosted-custom1
Github Enterprise examples
To use the module with Github Enterprise Server, you have to define these parameters:
github_actions_runner::github_domain: "https://git.example.com"
github_actions_runner::github_api: "https://git.example.com/api/v3"
In addition to the runner configuration examples above, you can also configure runners
on the enterprise level by setting a value for enterprise_name, for example:
github_actions_runner::ensure: present
github_actions_runner::base_dir_name: '/data/actions-runner'
github_actions_runner::package_name: 'actions-runner-linux-x64'
github_actions_runner::package_ensure: '2.277.1'
github_actions_runner::repository_url: 'https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/download'
github_actions_runner::enterprise_name: 'enterprise_name'
github_actions_runner::personal_access_token: 'PAT'
github_actions_runner::user: 'root'
github_actions_runner::group: 'root'
github_actions_runner::instances:
Note, your personal_access_token has to contain the admin:enterprise permission.
Update PATH used by Github Runners
By default, puppet will not modify the values that the runner scripts create when the runner is set.
In case you need to use another value of paths in the environment variable PATH, you can define through hiera. For example:
- For all runners defined:
github_actions_runner::path: - /usr/local/bin - /usr/bin - /bin - /my/own/path - For just a specific runner:
github_actions_runner::instances: example_org_instance: path: - /usr/local/bin - /usr/bin - /bin - /my/own/path labels: - self-hosted-custom
Limitations
Tested on Debian 9 (stretch), Debian 10 (buster) and CentOS7 hosts.
Full list of operating systems support and requirements are described in metadata.json file.
Development
There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things. For more information, see Puppet Forge module contribution guide.
