Introduce functionality to support the execution of the `act_runner` daemon as a service on various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. This enhancement includes the ability to set the working directory using the `--working-directory` flag.
Details:
- The daemon can be installed and enabled with the command `act_runner daemon install`.
- The service can be stopped and uninstalled using `act_runner daemon uninstall`.
- The default working directory is set to the directory containing the `act_runner` executable.
- During the installation process (`act_runner daemon install`), the service checks for the existence of `.runner` and `config.yaml` files in the same directory. If found, these files are loaded into the service.
Note: Prior to running `act_runner daemon install`, ensure registration of `act_runner` with the command `act_runner register` to generate the required `.runner` file.
Added environment variable `RUNNER_STATE_FILE` to let users specify
where `run.sh` looks for the runner JSON file. Defaults to ``.runner``
to preserve the original behavior.
Addresses issue #368. It's not my preferred solution but it's the least invasive one I can think of.
I'm happy to make any changes you want.
I didn't see an appropriate place to reference the change in the documentation. I will add documentation wherever you think is appropriate.
To test this I did the following:
* Built an image with the `make docker` command and pushed it to my private registry.
* Added that private image as the image in my existing docker stack that was exhibiting the behavior described in #368.
* Added the RUNNER_STATE_FILE environment variable pointing to the runner JSON file set in my `config.yml` (``/data/runner.json`` in this case).
* Configured a new runner in gitea and added the token as an environment variable in the stack config.
* Deployed the stack and verified the new runner was recognized (in the idle state).
* Force updated the runner service to restart the container.
* Verified the same runner was still recognized in gitea (in the idle state) once it was back up and running.
Here is the relevant config. It's stored as a template so I've left the things that would normally be redacted as they are in the template.
```
runner:
image: hub.hax.in.net/haxwithaxe/act_runner:dev1
networks:
- swarm-net
environment:
RUNNER_STATE_FILE: /data/runner.json
CONFIG_FILE: /data/config.yml
GITEA_INSTANCE_URL: "https://git_gitea"
GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN: "{{ git_runner_reg_token }}"
GITEA_RUNNER_NAME: "git_runner"
volumes:
- runner_data:/data
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
```
`runner_data` is a glusterfs subvolume
Thanks for creating this gitea specific fork. Apart from the issue this pull request addresses it works so well I don't have to think about it once it's set up.

When deploying the runner in a Docker Swarm setup, it can be useful to
read the potentially sensitive token from a secret instead of having to
pass it from an environment variable.

implement: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/24544
Changes:
- Add a global variable `tasksVersion` to store the lastest version number which returned by Gitea.
- Pass `tasksVersion` to Gitea when invoking `FetchTask`.
- If there is no task in the `FetchTask` response, store the version from the `FetchTask` response into `tasksVersion` variable.
- If there is a task in the `FetchTask` response, set `tasksVersion` to zero to focre query db in next `FetchTask` request.

Without this, actions fail when attempting to clone the repo:
```

```
This appears to be the same as https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/1908, and only shows up with golang 1.20.6. Staying with golang 1.20.5 is a temporary solution to avoid the bug until it is fixed upstream.

This PR
- adds the `cache-server` command so act_runner can run as a cache server. When running as a cache server, act_runner only processes the requests related to cache and does not run jobs.
- adds the `external_server` configuration for cache. If specified, act_runner will use this URL as the ACTIONS_CACHE_URL instead of starting a cache server itself.

Caused by #260
act_runner will fail to start if user does not set `docker_host` configuration and `DOCKER_HOST` env. This PR adds the support for finding docker daemon from common socket paths so act_runner could detect the docker socket from these paths.
The `commonSocketPaths` is from [nektos/act](e60018a6d9/cmd/root.go (L124-L131))

Follow #242, #244Fixes#258
Users could use `docker_host` configuration to specify which docker daemon will be used by act_runner.
- If `docker_host` is **empty**, act_runner will find an available docker host automatically.
- If `docker_host` is **"-"**, act_runner will find an available docker host automatically, but the docker host won't be mounted to the job containers and service containers.
- If `docker_host` is **not empty or "-"**, the specified docker host will be used. An error will be returned if it doesn't work.

Follow #242.
Move `docker.host` to `container.docker_host`.
There are already some options for docker/container in `container`, so developers could get confused about where to add options.
It's breaking, but I think it's OK since `docker.host` was added just two days ago.
