gitea/act_runner v4.0.0

on Gitea

⚠️ Breaking changes

Jobs reach the cache through their runner (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1229)

With cache.external_server set, jobs send cache requests to their runner, which forwards them. Jobs that cannot reach their runner, such as on a remote DOCKER_HOST, need cache.host and cache.port set to an address they reach.

Jobs on container.network: bridge cannot reach a runner container outside bridge, so their cache and artifact uploads fail. Leave container.network empty or use a user-defined network.

* in valid_volumes no longer matches across / (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1214)

A host pattern relying on * to match nested paths needs **, for example /data/** instead of /data/*.

Features

• Added builtin:checkout action, which needs no download and no Node in the job image (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/871)
• Added self: prefix in step uses which resolves on the runner's Gitea instance (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1233)
• Support S3-compatible storage as cache backend with cache.s3, shared between runners without a cache server (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1244)
• OpenTelemetry tracing of jobs and steps, enabled with OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1206)

Enhancements

• A runner container on the jobs' Docker daemon joins each job network, so jobs reach its cache without cache.host (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1229)
• Only runners need to reach cache.external_server, which no longer needs to reach Gitea (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1229)
• Faster job start for runners in a container (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1231)
• Support --umask in container.options (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1238)

Bug fixes

• Skip a job whose if: fails to evaluate instead of failing it, like GitHub (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1247)
• Stop actions/cache inside composite actions saving caches of failed jobs (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1242)
• Give jobs of Podman runners in a container the Docker socket instead of an empty directory (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1231)
• Fix Windows paths in valid_volumes patterns (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1214)
• Silence the docker-init subreaper warning in the dind images (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1241)
