Hello there,

I’m trying the act runner for Gitea actions. I found the documentation here: [GitHub - nektos/act: Run your GitHub Actions locally 🚀](https://github.com/nektos/act#runners). It is said that the image from the table that will be used depends on type and size requested. If I get it correctly type is specified by `runs-on` but how do I set the size ? How do I end up with `ubuntu-latest` `Medium Docker Image` entry ?

I would like to be able to set an image that does have docker installed in it.

Thanks !

For now I adapted the runner config file directly, but I’m still wondering if there is anything I could add on the worflow file to specify this.

Hi, it looks like you need to set the specified labels first: [Act Runner | Gitea Documentation](https://docs.gitea.com/1.20/usage/actions/act-runner#labels)

Then I think you should be able to just write `runs-on: ubuntu-latest:docker://catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest`

Thanks for the info, wasn’t aware about that.

So for the next person looking for this, you can also add available labels to your Gitea Runner by passing `GITEA_RUNNER_LABELS=` to your GItea Act Runner docker image. This way you can customize easily what you want to have in there.
