Configuring NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE for self-hosted Linux runners when needed #136

Open vroad opened 2 years ago

vroad commented 2 years ago

I set up my self-hosted runner on AWS with philips-labs/terraform-aws-github-runner, and found that python programs fails to fetch from HTTPS URLs without environment variable NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE. Only occured with Amazon Linux 2 AMIs, with Ubuntu AMIs this action just worked fine.

Can we somehow detect this situation and automatically set this environment variable? Currenly, the action only sets the variable on macOS runners.
