Docker compose with docker-in-docker

The compose-forgejo-and-runner.yml compose file runs a Forgejo instance and registers a Forgejo runner. A docker server is also launched within a container (using dind) and will be used by the Forgejo runner to execute the workflows.

Quick start

rm -fr /srv/runner-data /srv/forgejo-data
secret=$(openssl rand -hex 20)
sed -i -e "s/{SHARED_SECRET}/$secret/" compose-forgejo-and-runner.yml
docker compose -f compose-forgejo-and-runner.yml up -d

Visit http://0.0.0.0:8080/admin/actions/runners with login root and password {ROOT_PASSWORD} and see the runner is registered with the label docker.

NOTE: the Your ROOT_URL in app.ini is "http://localhost:3000/", it's unlikely matching the site you are visiting. message is a warning that can be ignored in the context of this example.

docker compose -f compose-forgejo-and-runner.yml -f compose-demo-workflow.yml up demo-workflow

Visit http://0.0.0.0:8080/root/test/actions/runs/1 and see that the job ran.

Running

Create a shared secret with:

openssl rand -hex 20

Replace all occurences of {SHARED_SECRET} in compose-forgejo-and-runner.yml.

NOTE: a token obtained from the Forgejo web interface cannot be used as a shared secret.

Replace {ROOT_PASSWORD} with a secure password in compose-forgejo-and-runner.yml.

docker compose -f compose-forgejo-and-runner.yml up

Manual testing

To login the Forgejo instance:

• URL: http://0.0.0.0:8080
• user: root
• password: {ROOT_PASSWORD}

Forgejo Actions is enabled by default when creating a repository.

Tests workflow

The compose-demo-workflow.yml compose file runs two demo workflows:

• one to verify the Forgejo runner can pick up a task from the Forgejo instance and run it to completion.
• one to verify docker can be run inside the Forgejo runner container.

A new repository is created in root/test with the following workflows:

.forgejo/workflows/demo.yml:

on: [push]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: docker
    steps:
      - run: echo All Good

.forgejo/workflows/demo_docker.yml

on: [push]
jobs:
  test_docker:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    steps:
      - run: docker info

A wait loop expects the status of the check associated with the commit in Forgejo to show "success" to assert the workflow was run.

Running
