Hosting your self hosted runners on GitHub Codespaces
We will actually be using a very similar approach for the docker image configuration based on one of my previous blog posts, 'Create a Docker based Self Hosted GitHub runner Linux container'. So do check out that post also if you wanted more info on how self hosted GitHub runner containers work.

Run Docker based GitHub runner containers on Azure Container Apps (ACA)
You can use the following example workflow: kedaScaleTest.yml

Running Docker based GitHub runner containers on Azure Container Instances (ACI)
For this step I will use a PowerShell script, Prepare-RBAC-ACI.ps1 running Azure-CLI, to create a Resource Group and grant access to our GitHub Service Principal App we created in the previous post.

Storing Docker based GitHub runner containers on Azure Container Registry (ACR)
I hope you have enjoyed this post and have learned something new. You can find the code samples used in this blog post on my GitHub project: docker-github-runner-windows or docker-github-runner-linux. β€οΈ

Create a Docker based Self Hosted GitHub runner Linux container
Open VSCode, you can clone the repo found on my GitHub project docker-github-runner-linux which contains all the files or simply follow along with the following steps. We will prepare a script that will be needed as part of our docker image creation.

Why the fuck are we templating YAML? (2019)
In the case of GitHub Actions, it's made more painful by the lack of support for YAML anchors, which provide a bare minimum of composability.

- please dont state this as a "workaround". your version simply "pretends" it is a tty when infact it is not an actual tty

PySide vs. .NET WinForms for a Desktop GUI App in 2023?
Even if you donβt pick Avalonia, their notes for Mac distribution look useful:
https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/distribution-publishing/mac...
For example, the GitHub actions runner itself is a modern .NET core project with CI except for .app packaging.

Automate Flutter app delivery to AppCenter with GitHub Actions
A runner is where your action's jobs will be run. It can be a hosted virtual environment, or you can self-host a runner in your machine.

How to deal with MSVC in DevOps
If i understand this writing correctly (https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/904), running Windows containers in a windows-latest GH Actions host is not possible. While using a self-hosted runner on a Windows server might be an option, this is not what I want since it is a package repo for a well-known open source project, think of the package repo part as a mini-Conan. I wouldn't know who would want to host that. In the best case we would stay with just GH Actions to keep everything confined in one space :)
