Description

Can Gitea Actions only work with Docker, or is it possible to run tasks locally in the context of the runner, similar to GitHub Actions?

I use this example https://gitea.com/action-examples/CPlusPlus
push to my self-hosted gitea
and try use Gitea actions

I download https://dl.gitea.com/act_runner/0.2.11/act_runner-0.2.11-windows-amd64.exe
and rename to act_runner

C:\bin\gitea>act_runner generate-config > config.yaml
C:\bin\gitea>act_runner --config config.yaml register

After that i have in my Gitea Runners Management offline runner

C:\bin\gitea>act_runner daemon --config config.yaml
time="2024-11-14T11:12:23+01:00" level=info msg="Starting runner daemon"
Error: daemon Docker Engine socket not found and docker_host config was invalid

C:\bin\gitea>act_runner exec --config config.yaml
time="2024-11-14T10:40:10+01:00" level=info msg="Using default workflow event: push"
time="2024-11-14T10:40:10+01:00" level=info msg="Planning jobs for event: push"
time="2024-11-14T10:40:10+01:00" level=info msg="cache handler listens on: http://192.168.10.209:4816"

I found solution:
replace in config.yaml default labels to

  labels:
    - local
    - windows
