How to cusomize RUNNER_WORKDIR ?

[vietwow]

Hi all,

I need to customize the working dir of action runner, I tried to set env var "RUNNER_WORKDIR" in controller :

apiVersion: actions.summerwind.dev/v1alpha1
kind: RunnerDeployment
metadata:
name: golang-runner
namespace: platform
spec:
replicas: 3
template:
spec:
env:
- name: RUNNER_WORKDIR
value: /home/runner
repository: dtduc-git/golang
labels:
- golang-runner
serviceAccountName: gha

but it doesn't work, when I describe the runner's pod, I see 2 duplicated env var "RUNNER_WORKDIR", and runner is still using the value of old "RUNNER_WORKDIR"

so how could I customize working dir of action runner?

Appricated for any help. Thank you.

@vietwow I am not sure you should be setting the ENV variable. It is actually written in there with the RunnerDeployment spec:

actions-runner-controller/controllers/actions.summerwind.net/runner_controller.go

Line 575 in 044c8ad

if runner.Spec.ContainerMode == "kubernetes" {

So, when you are setting your RunnerDeployment spec, just set up the workDir to be your desired home:

  workDir: /home/to/somewhere/else
