To solve the task of setting up a GitHub Actions workflow to run on a self-hosted runner, we need to create a YAML configuration file that specifies the workflow's name, triggers, runner type, and the jobs with their respective steps. The goal is to ensure that the workflow is executed on a self-hosted runner, which is a machine that you manage and configure to run GitHub Actions jobs. This setup is particularly useful when you need more control over the environment or when using specific hardware or software configurations that GitHub-hosted runners do not provide.
Create the Workflow File: The file should be located at .github/workflows/self-hosted-runner.yml
in your repository. This is the standard location for GitHub Actions workflow files.
Define the Workflow Name: Choose a descriptive name for your workflow to make it easily identifiable in the GitHub Actions interface.
Set the Trigger: Determine which events should trigger the workflow. Common triggers include push
and pull_request
events on specific branches, such as main
.
Specify the Runner: Use the runs-on
key with the value self-hosted
to indicate that the workflow should run on a self-hosted runner.
Define Jobs and Steps: Outline the jobs and the steps within each job. This typically includes checking out the code, setting up the environment, installing dependencies, running tests, and any other necessary tasks.
Here is the complete YAML configuration for the workflow:
name: Self-Hosted Runner Workflow
on:
push:
branches:
- main
pull_request:
branches:
- main
jobs:
build:
runs-on: self-hosted
steps:
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up Node.js
uses: actions/setup-node@v2
with:
node-version: '14'
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm install
- name: Run tests
run: npm test
runs-on: self-hosted
: This specifies that the job should be executed on a self-hosted runner. Ensure that your self-hosted runner is properly configured and registered with your GitHub repository.push
and pull_request
events to the main
branch. Adjust these triggers based on your project's workflow needs.By following these steps, you can successfully set up a GitHub Actions workflow to run on a self-hosted runner, providing you with greater control over the execution environment.
