Doesn't work on self host runner

[oleg-brizy]

I have two js/node projects and I migrated them successfully on self host runner.

The php project refuses to work https://pastebin.com/raw/LvUPq9ym

I allowed sudo for runner user without password, so the script can install the dependecies it needs. But in logs, after successfull php install, below it shows php not found (weird).

All these github actions are new to me, I thought the migration to self hosted will take a few minutes (no config change) but it took all day and still not working.

Is it possible to use this setup on self hosted or it works only on github cloud?

Dockerfile https://pastebin.com/EpZzDfvg

currently does not support self hosted runners.

[oleg-brizy]

Thanks.

Can you explain briefly, why? (just curious)

[shivammathur]

Never tested on self hosted runners. Will test and let you know.

[shivammathur]

@oleg-brizy It will work on self hosted runners on ubuntu, windows and macos after 2.2.0 release.

[oleg-brizy]

Will sudo access (without password) be required?

(I have no idea how the dependencies are installed internally, system-wide or some sort of "containers")

[shivammathur]

Yes, the action requires sudo to install dependencies. The dependencies are installed system-wide.

Is 2.2.0 release or later already out? Can't seem to find it anywhere yet ;)

[oleg-brizy]

@RemyyB It's In Progress

Doesn't work in act too, for running GitHub Actions locally.
https://github.com/nektos/act

[shivammathur]

@georgezim85 There are some issues in using nektos/act with setup-php including the one in your screenshot and that it uses a Debian based image.

The solution would be to use nektos/act with a custom docker image over ubuntu which can run this action.

@oleg-brizy, @georgezim85 @RemyyB
Now you can use self-hosted runners. Refer to the docs here.

Also added support for nektos/act. Refer to the docs here.

Let me know if there are any issues.
