Description

This module will setup all of the files and configuration needed for GitHub Actions runner to work on Debian (Stretch and Buster) and CentOS7 hosts.

hiera configuration examples

This module supports configuration through hiera.

Creating an organization level Actions runner

github_actions_runner::ensure: present
github_actions_runner::base_dir_name: '/data/actions-runner'
github_actions_runner::package_name: 'actions-runner-linux-x64'
github_actions_runner::package_ensure: '2.277.1'
github_actions_runner::repository_url: 'https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/download'
github_actions_runner::org_name: 'my_github_organization'
github_actions_runner::personal_access_token: 'PAT'
github_actions_runner::user: 'root'
github_actions_runner::group: 'root'
github_actions_runner::instances:
  example_org_instance:
    labels:
      - self-hosted-custom
    runner_group: 'MyRunners'

Note, your personal_access_token has to contain the admin:org permission.

Creating an additional repository level Actions runner

github_actions_runner::instances:
  example_org_instance:
    labels:
      - self-hosted-custom1
  example_repo_instance:
    repo_name: myrepo
    labels:
      - self-hosted-custom2

Note, your personal_access_token has to contain the repo permission.

Instance level overwrites

github_actions_runner::instances:
  example_org_instance:
    ensure: absent
    labels:
      - self-hosted-custom1
  example_repo_instance:
    org_name: overwritten_orgnization
    repo_name: myrepo
    labels:
      - self-hosted-custom2

Adding a global proxy and overwriting an instance level proxy

github_actions_runner::http_proxy: http://proxy.local
github_actions_runner::https_proxy: http://proxy.local
github_actions_runner::instances:
  example_org_instance:
    http_proxy: http://instance_specific_proxy.local
    https_proxy: http://instance_specific_proxy.local
    no_proxy: example.com
    labels:
      - self-hosted-custom1

Github Enterprise examples

To use the module with Github Enterprise Server, you have to define these parameters:

github_actions_runner::github_domain: "https://git.example.com"
github_actions_runner::github_api: "https://git.example.com/api/v3"

In addition to the runner configuration examples above, you can also configure runners on the enterprise level by setting a value for enterprise_name, for example:

github_actions_runner::ensure: present
github_actions_runner::base_dir_name: '/data/actions-runner'
github_actions_runner::package_name: 'actions-runner-linux-x64'
github_actions_runner::package_ensure: '2.277.1'
github_actions_runner::repository_url: 'https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/download'
github_actions_runner::enterprise_name: 'enterprise_name'
github_actions_runner::personal_access_token: 'PAT'
github_actions_runner::user: 'root'
github_actions_runner::group: 'root'
github_actions_runner::instances:

Note, your personal_access_token has to contain the admin:enterprise permission.

Update PATH used by Github Runners

By default, puppet will not modify the values that the runner scripts create when the runner is set.

In case you need to use another value of paths in the environment variable PATH, you can define through hiera. For example:

For all runners defined:

github_actions_runner::path:
  - /usr/local/bin
  - /usr/bin
  - /bin
  - /my/own/path

For just a specific runner:

github_actions_runner::instances:
  example_org_instance:
    path:
      - /usr/local/bin
      - /usr/bin
      - /bin
      - /my/own/path
    labels:
      - self-hosted-custom

Adding environment variables to runner

The runner uses environment variables to decide pre/post-run scripts: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/running-scripts-before-or-after-a-job#triggering-the-scripts

github_actions_runner::env:
  ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_STARTED: "/cleanup_script"
  FOO: "bar"

Limitations

Tested on Debian 9 (stretch), Debian 10 (buster) and CentOS7 hosts. Full list of operating systems support and requirements are described in metadata.json file.

Development

There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things. For more information, see Puppet Forge module contribution guide.

      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
      as of the date such litigation is filed.

   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without

          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution

   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,

      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
