Big Builder
I personally don't want to be running CI/CD automation with full access to my Docker socket.
I made this image to hold all my typical build toolset,
and also the gitea runner,
so now I can just say runs-on: big-builder,
and stuff works without docker.
This does mean I can't use github actions. That's okay with me: I don't want to be running node on my Raspberry Pi, either. I know how to use the Bourne shell, so I'm able to do everything I want that way.
How To Set This Up
This wants its files to live in /app.
After you do the registration step,
that can be mounted read-only.
But it will want to write its token in the registration step.
You should provide custom tags:
that's how you keep it from trying to use docker.
On my raspberry pi,
I used ["big-builder", "aarch64", "go", "python3", "hugo"].
Otherwise, just set this up the same way you would set up the gitea act runner.
To run in daemon mode,
you have to give it daemon on the commandline:
I didn't make a fancypants script to guess the command.
Adding Other Packages
Make your own image. Like so:
FROM big-builder
RUN apk --no-cache add nethack
``
Even better, steal this one's Dockerfile and add stuff to it.
You shouldn't trust my image to be malware-free.
Caveats
-------
Right now (October 2023),
if anything tries to read from the tty,
the runner just sits there forever.
This is a problem with the runner that they might fix one day.
Just something to bear in mind:
I spent a bit of time chasing this one down.
