Gitea Actions is Gitea's own CI, largely GitHub-Actions-workflow-compatible
(.gitea/workflows/*.yml). Off by default; this Gitea install is otherwise
just a passive GitHub pull mirror, so the main value here is resilience —
.gitea/workflows/*.yml can still run something like a GitHub Actions build
if GitHub itself is ever unreachable.
_gitea_offer_actions_runner(), offered on fresh installs and Update reruns
(idempotent — no-ops if already set up):
- Enables GITEA__actions__ENABLED / DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL in the compose
file's environment, restarts to apply
- Generates a runner registration token via `gitea actions
generate-runner-token`
- Appends an act_runner service to the same docker-compose.yml, using
the host's Docker socket to launch a fresh container per job — the
same pattern this repo already uses for portainer/watchtower/
uptimekuma/beszel/traccar's autoheal
- Falls back to printing manual setup instructions if token generation
fails, rather than losing the attempt silently
_gitea_fix_ownership()'s data/-exclusion (added when we fixed the earlier
SQLite readonly-database bug) now also skips runner-data/, so a future
reinstall/update doesn't clobber the runner's own state the same way.
