…passing out the jobs in general. The self hosted runners are behind the actions runner controller: https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller

I've been experimenting with their controller for k8s runners https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller . The awful thing about it is that you cannot run one set for all projects unless they're all under an organisation, so for…

…have some EKS clusters setup, is there a benefit to this over Actions Runner Controller (ARC)? https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller
comment by bracketfocus · 2024-07-10 · in Runs-on: Self hosted, on-premise, GitHub Action runners -
Before this we were using https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller but that's running on K8s instead of VMs. So along with common limitations of running CI jos in K8s/container, it cannot have exactly the same environment as…

ARC is great for running GitHub Actions on Kubernetes: https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller I think Kubernetes is a better platform than EC2 for runners, it's faster and more integrated with your tooling (if you're using…

There are also official Heml charts available for ARC: https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller I am in the process of setting it up on a cheap Hetzner box. If it works, would be a great deal! You can get a 64 GB RAM box for 35…

Another pitfall I have encountered is the lack of a true ephemeral agent runner solution for running the actions runner agent in your own infrastructure. The way it works (the last time I checked) is when you register a worker as…

The ARM nodes which are exactly the topic of this submission could be a place where you can self-host your GH runners :) https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-... works quite well with its autoscaling. You could…

had the exact same thing with https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-... Seems to be up again now.

It's not official, but there are K8s / github actions runner deployments: https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-... I've been playing about with this and it seems to work quite well. Startup latency is quite high, and…
