Hi all!

When trying to connect the runner gives the following error

```auto

INFO Registering runner, arch=amd64, os=linux, version=v0.1.8.
INFO Runner name is empty, use hostname 'gitea-run'.
ERRO Cannot ping the Gitea instance server error="unavailable: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate is not valid for any names, but wanted to match home.url.net"
ERRO Cannot ping the Gitea instance server error="unavailable: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate is not valid for any names, but wanted to match home.url.net"
^CERRO Cannot ping the Gitea instance server error="unavailable: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate is not valid for any names, but wanted to match home.url.net"
ERRO Cannot ping the Gitea instance server error="unavailable: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate is not valid for any names, but wanted to match home.url.net"

```

My command connect:

./act\_runner register --no-interactive --instance [https://home.url.net](https://home.url.net) --token bXQasdasdsaKvHgdwfasd213120RZVr3O2I

Uploaded the certificate and did a check

openssl verify -CAfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt example.crt  
example.crt: OK

While I decided to run the docker image [GitHub - vegardit/docker-gitea-act-runner: Docker image based on debian:stable-slim to run Gitea's act\_runner as a Docker container](https://github.com/vegardit/docker-gitea-act-runner)

Hi! I solved the problem, but I did it a long time ago, I can suggest deploying gitea runner as in my article on habr [https://habr.com/ru/articles/743782/#7.%20Gitea%20act%20runner](https://habr.com/ru/articles/743782/#7.%20Gitea%20act%20runner) , but it’s in Russian =( I hope it helps, I’ll look for the configuration of my gitea and try to remember, if I find something I’ll send you.
