Docker compose with docker-in-docker

The compose-forgejo-and-runner.yml compose file runs a Forgejo instance and registers a Forgejo runner. A docker server is also launched within a container (using dind) and will be used by the Forgejo runner to execute the workflows.

docker-compose -f compose-forgejo-and-runner.yml up

Manual testing

To login the Forgejo instance:

• URL: http://0.0.0.0:8080
• user: root
• password: admin1234

Forgejo Actions is enabled by default when creating a repository.

Security

This is a demo and must not be used in production because:

• the runner secret is hardcoded
• the admin password is hardcoded to admin1234

Tests workflow

The compose-demo-workflow.yml compose file runs a demo workflow to verify the Forgejo runner can pick up a task from the Forgejo instance and run it to completion.

A new repository is created in root/test with the following workflow in .forgejo/workflows/demo.yml:

on: [push]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: docker
    steps:
      - run: echo All Good

A wait loop expects the status of the check associated with the commit in Forgejo to show "success" to assert the workflow was run.
