Using Actions without Docker?

Actions
1

I’m trying to configure the Gitea runner (both act_runner and the beta/not released runner) without using Docker. I’m pretty certain this is (or was?) possible.

My existing config has:

runner:
  <snip>
  labels:
    - "ubuntu-latest:host"
    - "ubuntu:host"

… and I thought that was sufficient to not use Docker. With recent releases of act_runner + Gitea, however, the runner daemon tries (and fails) to use Docker.

Thanks!

Well, I spent part of the day reinstalling some older versions, and NONE of them work without Docker. So I will work on getting an automated install of Docker in place. :person_shrugging:

Still interested in how to run without Docker. The :host bit doesn’t prevent a requirement of Docker being present as far as I can tell!
