And you will be asked to input:

  1. Gitea instance URL, like http://192.168.8.8:3000/. You should use your gitea instance ROOT_URL as the instance argument and you should not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as instance IP;

  3. Runner name, you can just leave it blank;
  4. Runner labels, you can just leave it blank.

The process looks like:

INFO Runner registered successfully.

You can also register with command line arguments.

./act_runner register --instance http://192.168.8.8:3000 --token <my_runner_token> --no-interactive

If the registry succeed, it will run immediately. Next time, you could run the runner directly.
