About:
Act Runner is a native CI runner for Gitea, based on Gitea's fork of the 'act' project. It executes GitHub Actions-compatible workflows directly within your Gitea instance, enabling seamless CI/CD automation. This tool bridges the gap between Gitea's built-in Actions support and the need for a runtime environment to execute those jobs.
Key Features:
  • GitHub Actions compatible workflow execution
  • Native integration with Gitea Actions
  • Self-hosted and flexible deployment
  • Uses standard Docker containers for job isolation
Use Cases:
  • Running CI/CD pipelines for projects hosted on a private Gitea instance
  • Migrating existing GitHub Actions workflows to a self-hosted Gitea environment
Alternatives:
  • GitHub Actions Runner – Designed for GitHub.com, whereas Act Runner is specifically optimized for Gitea integration.
  • Jenkins – A general-purpose automation server requiring Groovy-based configuration, while Act Runner uses the declarative YAML syntax of GitHub Actions.
