1) Cache act_runner phải nằm trên volume. Mặc định cache.dir rỗng -> act_runner ghi vào $HOME/.cache/actcache, tức WRITABLE LAYER của container. Đo thực tế trên ba máy: 278 GB / 95 GB / 32 GB nằm ở đó, mất sạch chỉ với một lệnh docker compose up -d. Thêm volume runner-cache mount vào /cache và đặt cache.dir="/cache". Hai chỗ này phải luôn đổi cùng nhau. 2) Ghim image theo digest thay vì :nightly. Tag tự cập nhật nghĩa là compose pull có thể tạo lại container sau lưng, kéo theo mất cache. Nâng cấp có chủ đích: đổi digest, commit, rồi mới áp dụng. 3) XOÁ runner.sh. Nó lỗi thời (đã thay bằng docker compose) và quan trọng hơn: nó chứa GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN dạng plaintext đã commit vào git. Ai có token đó đăng ký được runner vào Gitea, tức chạy job tuỳ ý trên hạ tầng này. XOÁ FILE LÀ CHƯA ĐỦ - token vẫn nằm trong lịch sử git, BẮT BUỘC phải thu hồi và cấp lại token trong Gitea. 4) README: bổ sung bước clone cho máy builder mới, cảnh báo phải kiểm tra job đang chạy trước khi tạo lại runner (tạo lại là mồ côi job đang chạy), và phần dọn rác trong DinD (image/volume/build cache không tự dọn - một máy đo được 515 image thừa và 71 GB build cache).

# Gitea Act Runner (DinD + cache)
|
|
|
|
Stable Gitea Actions runner for building Rust projects. Runs jobs in an isolated
|
|
Docker-in-Docker daemon with the built-in cache server enabled and multiple
|
|
parallel jobs.
|
|
|
|
## Setup on a new build machine
|
|
|
|
Requires Docker + Docker Compose.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://git.vysma.dev/nampdn/act_runner.git && cd act_runner
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
# edit .env: set GITEA_RUNNER_NAME (unique per machine) and a fresh
|
|
# GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN from Gitea -> Actions -> Runners -> Create Runner
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Nothing else to edit — `config.yaml` ships with working defaults. Tweak
|
|
`runner.capacity` per machine if its CPU/RAM differ; that edit will show up as a
|
|
local modification in `git status`, which is expected.
|
|
|
|
Verify:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker compose ps # both containers up, dind healthy
|
|
docker logs gitea-runner-wsl 2>&1 | tail # "declare successfully"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
- **Parallel jobs**: `config.yaml` -> `runner.capacity` (default 4)
|
|
- **Job images**: `config.yaml` -> `runner.labels` (ubuntu-latest/22.04/24.04)
|
|
- **Cache**: `config.yaml` -> `cache.dir: "/cache"`, mounted from the
|
|
`runner-cache` volume. Docker layer cache persists separately in `dind-storage`.
|
|
|
|
> ⚠️ Leaving `cache.dir` empty makes act_runner write to `$HOME/.cache/actcache`
|
|
> — the container's **writable layer**, not a volume. Measured in production:
|
|
> 278 GB / 95 GB / 32 GB of cache sitting there across three machines, all of it
|
|
> destroyed by a single `docker compose up -d`. The two settings
|
|
> (`cache.dir` and the `runner-cache` mount) must always be changed together.
|
|
|
|
- **Runner image**: pinned by digest, not `:nightly`. A floating tag means
|
|
`docker compose pull` can recreate the container behind your back — and with it,
|
|
wipe the cache. Upgrade deliberately: change the digest, commit, then apply.
|
|
|
|
## Rust workflows
|
|
|
|
Copy `example-rust-workflow.yaml` to your repo at `.gitea/workflows/build.yaml`.
|
|
It uses `actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain` which caches `~/.cargo` and
|
|
`target/` via the runner's cache server.
|
|
|
|
## Manage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker compose up -d # apply config changes
|
|
docker compose down # stop (registration persists in volume)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
⚠️ **Check for running jobs before recreating the runner.** Recreating it orphans
|
|
any job in flight — Gitea marks them failed and you have to re-run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker exec gitea-runner-dind docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | grep -v buildkit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Wait until that prints nothing (`buildx_buildkit_builder-*` is a helper, not a job).
|
|
|
|
### Housekeeping
|
|
|
|
Job images, volumes and BuildKit cache pile up inside DinD and are never reaped
|
|
automatically. Measured on one machine: 515 unused images and a 71 GB build cache.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker exec gitea-runner-dind docker image prune -af --filter until=168h
|
|
docker exec gitea-runner-dind docker builder prune -f --keep-storage 20GB
|
|
# volume prune only removes *anonymous* volumes; task volumes are named:
|
|
for v in $(docker exec gitea-runner-dind docker volume ls -q | grep '^GITEA-ACTIONS-TASK'); do
|
|
docker exec gitea-runner-dind docker volume rm "$v" 2>/dev/null
|
|
done
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Keep `act-toolcache` and don't wipe the BuildKit cache outright — cap it instead.
|
|
|
|
> Each machine needs a unique `GITEA_RUNNER_NAME` and its own registration token.
|
|
> Run `docker compose down -v` to fully reset (drops registration + caches).
