Feature Description

I would like to be able to launch both gitea AND a gitea Act Runner using Docker Compose in one go. Currently this is impossible, one must first start the gitea server, and get a runner registration token using the UI or API. When using, for instance, Drone CICD, this is possible. The server and runner are both started using a shared secret in their environment (DRONE_RPC_SECRET).

It would also be neat if all config variables for the runner can be set from the environment as well, eliminating the need for generating the config file in advance.
