Adds the Dockerfile (FROM code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner:12.11.1, plus node/git/bash/coreutils/curl/tar/make/ca-certificates) and a README with the multi-arch build/push workflow. Built and pushed as gitea.langenoja.se/zegit-zoo/zegit-forgejo-runner:12.11.1-ci; consumed by flux-config applications/forgejo-runner. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
zegit-forgejo-runner
Custom toolchain image for the cluster's self-hosted Gitea Actions (Forgejo)
runner, which runs in host mode (Docker disabled) — workflow steps execute
inside this image, so it must carry node/git/make/etc. that the stock
code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner image lacks.
This repo lives only on Gitea (zegit-zoo/zegit-forgejo-runner). The cluster-side
deployment and rationale live in flux-config (runners.md,
applications/forgejo-runner/).
Build & push
The runner needs this image to run any job, so the first build must be done by hand (CI can't bootstrap itself). The cluster is mixed amd64/arm64, so build multi-arch:
docker buildx create --use --name zegit-ci 2>/dev/null || true
docker login gitea.langenoja.se # username + a Gitea personal access token
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
-t gitea.langenoja.se/zegit-zoo/zegit-forgejo-runner:12.11.1-ci --push .
The Gitea package is public, so the forgejo-runner-system namespace pulls it
without an imagePullSecret.
Wire it into the cluster
After the push succeeds, in flux-config
applications/forgejo-runner/base/deployment-forgejo-runner.yaml set the image:
on both the register initContainer and the forgejo-runner daemon to
gitea.langenoja.se/zegit-zoo/zegit-forgejo-runner:12.11.1-ci, then commit (Flux
reconciles). Do this only after the image exists, or the pod ImagePullBackOffs.
Tag scheme
<base-runner-version>-ci (e.g. 12.11.1-ci). Must satisfy the cluster's
Gatekeeper enforce-semantic-image-tags constraint — never :latest.
