This add support for two upcoming enhancements on the GitHub side of self-hosted runners, ephemeral runners, and `workflow_jow` events. You can't use these yet.
**These features are not yet generally available to all GitHub users**. Please take this pull request as a preparation to make it available to actions-runner-controller users as soon as possible after GitHub released the necessary features on their end.
**Ephemeral runners**:
The former, ephemeral runners, is basically the reliable alternative to `--once`, which we've been using when you enabled `ephemeral: true` (default in actions-runner-controller).
`--once` has been suffering from a race issue #466. `--ephemeral` fixes that.
To enable ephemeral runners with `actions/runner`, you give `--ephemeral` to `config.sh`. This updated version of `actions-runner-controller` does it for you, by using `--ephemeral` instead of `--once` when you set `RUNNER_FEATURE_FLAG_EPHEMERAL=true`.
Please read the section `Ephemeral Runners` in the updated version of our README for more information.
Note that ephemeral runners is not released on GitHub yet. And `RUNNER_FEATURE_FLAG_EPHEMERAL=true` won't work at all until the feature gets released on GitHub. Stay tuned for an announcement from GitHub!
**`workflow_job` events**:
`workflow_job` is the additional webhook event that corresponds to each GitHub Actions workflow job run. It provides `actions-runner-controller` a solid foundation to improve our webhook-based autoscale.
Formerly, we've been exploiting webhook events like `check_run` for autoscaling. However, as none of our supported events has included `labels`, you had to configure an HRA to only match relevant `check_run` events. It wasn't trivial.
In contrast, a `workflow_job` event payload contains `labels` of runners requested. `actions-runner-controller` is able to automatically decide which HRA to scale by filtering the corresponding RunnerDeployment by `labels` included in the webhook payload. So all you need to use webhook-based autoscale will be to enable `workflow_job` on GitHub and expose actions-runner-controller's webhook server to the internet.
Note that the current implementation of `workflow_job` support works in two ways, increment, and decrement. An increment happens when the webhook server receives` workflow_job` of `queued` status. A decrement happens when it receives `workflow_job` of `completed` status. The latter is used to make scaling-down faster so that you waste money less than before. You still don't suffer from flapping, as a scale-down is still subject to `scaleDownDelaySecondsAfterScaleOut `.
Please read the section `Example 3: Scale on each `workflow_job` event` in the updated version of our README for more information on its usage.
* feat: RunnerSet backed by StatefulSet
Unlike a runner deployment, a runner set can manage a set of stateful runners by combining a statefulset and an admission webhook that mutates statefulset-managed pods with required envvars and registration tokens.
Resolves#613
Ref #612
* Upgrade controller-runtime to 0.9.0
* Bump Go to 1.16.x following controller-runtime 0.9.0
* Upgrade kubebuilder to 2.3.2 for updated etcd and apiserver following local setup
* Fix startup failure due to missing LeaderElectionID
* Fix the issue that any pods become unable to start once actions-runner-controller got failed after the mutating webhook has been registered
* Allow force-updating statefulset
* Fix runner container missing work and certs-client volume mounts and DOCKER_HOST and DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY envvars when dockerdWithinRunner=false
* Fix runnerset-controller not applying statefulset.spec.template.spec changes when there were no changes in runnerset spec
* Enable running acceptance tests against arbitrary kind cluster
* RunnerSet supports non-ephemeral runners only today
* fix: docker-build from root Makefile on intel mac
* fix: arch check fixes for mac and ARM
* ci: aligning test data format and patching checks
* fix: removing namespace in test data
* chore: adding more ignores

* Fix acceptance helm test not using newly built controller image
* Locally build runner image instead of pulling it
* Revert runner controller image pull policy to always
and add a line to the test deployment to use IfNotPresent
* Change runner repository from summerwind/action-runner to the owner of actions-runner-controller.
Also fix some Makefile formatting.
* Undo renaming acceptance/pull to docker-pull
* Some env var cleanup
Rename USERNAME to DOCKER_USER(is still used for github too tho)
Add RUNNER_NAME var(defaults to $DOCKER_USER/actions-runner)
Add TEST_REPO(defaults to $DOCKER_USER/actions-runner-controller)
Images for `actions-runner:v${VERSION}` and `actions-runner:latest` tags are upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04.
If you would like not to upgrade Ubuntu in the runner image in the future, migrate to new tags suffixed with `-ubuntu-20.04` like`actions-runner:v${VERSION}-ubuntu-20.04`.
We also keep publishing the existing Ubuntu 18.04 images with new `actions-runner:v${VERSION}-ubuntu-18.04` tags. Please use it when it turned out that you had workflows dependent on Ubuntu 18.04.

It turned out previous versions of runner images were unable to run actions that require `AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY` or `libyaml` to exist in the runner environment. One of notable examples of such actions is [`ruby/setup-ruby`](https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby).
This change adds the support for those actions, by setting up AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY and installing libyaml-dev within runner images.
* runner/controller: Add externals directory mount point
* Runner: Create hack for moving content of /runner/externals/ dir
* Externals dir Mount: mount examples for '__e/node12/bin/node' not found error
Adding multi-arch image support for `arm64` and `amd64`. This uses dockers new `buildx` feature, to enable further architectures more work will be required to update the `runner/Dockerfile` file to pull architecture-specific releases.
The Makefile targets really should only be used for local testing and not for release, additional work to appropriately tag the release images may need to be added but for now, I've not added that logic.
Fixes: #86

* Use self update ready entrypoint
* Add --once support for runsvc.sh
Run `cd runner; NAME=$DOCKER_USER/actions-runner TAG=dev make docker-build docker-push`,
`kubectl apply -f release/actions-runner-controller.yaml`,
then update the runner image(not the controller image) by updating e.g. `Runner.Spec.Image` to `$DOCKER_USER/actions-runner:$TAG`, for testing.
