Some useful resources for those using GitHub Actions Runner Controller (ARC)

Containers

It's worth noting that since ARC runs on Kubernetes you should have strong skills in the Kubernetes plaform. GitHub aren't able to offer support for Kubernetes because there are so many permutations of this. If you are need to connect/deploy to your private network and resources such as those below are required then you should consider GitHub Hosted Runners to simplify your management

History of Actions Runner Controller

• The V1 ARC was started as an awesome community project located at github.com/actions-runner-controller - used webhooks and pull
• The V2 ARC still has some great community support but is now adopted by GitHub and located in github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller - uses a new concept named scalesets

⚠️ NOTE - the V2 repository contains much of the old V1 code so you should focus on scalesets

Learning

• A reliable ARC deployment which runs on Kubernetes requires strong experience in Kubernetes.
• ✅ There is a Repo which I created github.com/gitstua-labs/ARCv2Demo which you can open in a Codespace and get an ARC controller and Scaleset up and running in minutes
• Official GitHub Docs documentation
