Docker Github Actions Runner
This project provides a containerized execution agent designed to host automated workflows for version control platforms. It functions as a self-hosted runner that automatically registers with a central service upon startup and terminates after completing a single job, ensuring that every task runs in a clean, isolated environment.
The system distinguishes itself through its focus on ephemeral lifecycle management and security. By utilizing a non-root execution model, it enforces least-privilege principles during job processing. The runner supports dynamic configuration through environment variables, allowing for automated registration, custom labeling, and the integration of proxy networking for operation within restricted or firewalled infrastructure.
Users can customize the execution environment by building upon base images to include specific toolchains and software dependencies required for diverse build pipelines. The runner handles the entire lifecycle of the agent, including the acquisition of access tokens, the cleanup of temporary files, and the deregistration of the container once the assigned task is finished.
