Unable to register self-hosted runner

[danielMCF99]

I am trying to use this github action but I keep getting an error when checking if the GitHub self-hosted runner is registered.

Can anyone outline some possible reasons for this?

Same situation here =..(

still no progress :(

Hey @danielMCF99 , Thanks for pointing this out! After some testing I tried by creating our own AMI image where basically we use Ubuntu 22.04 and dependencies needed. Hope this can fix the problem for your use case as well!

I ran into this because I did not do step 3.2 of the README: "Connect to the instance using SSH, install docker and git, then enable docker service."

Hope that helps!

Folks, I ran into the same issue, and by default, the subnet I'm using sets Auto-assign public IPv4 address to No... It works when I set it to Yes

Might be related to unsupported OS or arch, e.g. Github doesn't support Amazon Linux AMI for self-hosted runners, please refer here for more details.

This is the solution

I'm using Amazon Linux for self hosted runners and they work as expected. Will update if I find any issue

Worked after following this

Should probably be added to the README or have a TROUBLESHOOTING.md file

I set it to No, and the failed to register as self-hosted runner issue never appears, weird

I had to make sure the image has "libicu"

For amazon Linux AL2003 I had to add...

        "sudo yum update -y",
        "sudo yum install docker libicu -y",  << important
        "sudo systemctl enable docker",
        "sudo systemctl start docker",

        "# Install docker compose plugin",
        "sudo curl -L \"https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.23.0/docker-compose-linux-$(uname -m)\" -o /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose",
        "sudo chmod +x /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose"
     ```

Havent been able to confirm this yet in regards of AL2023. However until I have; please use Amazon Linux 2 for now. I will close this for now and if you encounter any new issues with runners not registering, create a new issue.
