Step2: Add self-hosted runner in your own server

  • If you want to run workflows that use Docker container actions or service containers, you must use a Linux machine and Docker must be installed.
  • Configuration must not run with sudo or root user
  • Use the repo name and token got from the previous step 
useradd runner
su runner

mkdir -p /home/runner/actions-runner && cd /home/runner/actions-runner
curl -O -L https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/download/v2.267.1/actions-runner-linux-x64-2.267.1.tar.gz
tar xzf ./actions-runner-linux-x64-2.267.1.tar.gz

# use the repo name and token got from the previous step
./config.sh --url https://github.com/<path/to/repo> --token <token>
./run.sh
