Step by step instructions for setup

[gfudies]

Hi,

Where can I find step by step instructions on setting this up on my self hosted runners? Where does prepare_job.json go? What settings do I need to change on my runners?

I have read this but it jumps around topics and doesn't really give instructions on what I actually need do to set this up.

GitHub support has suggested I post an issue here.

Thanks, Greg

Hey,
I have got stuck at that point too.

The instruction says that:

1. You can put the prepare_job.json everywhere.
2. Execute npm run build.
3. Put dist/index.js into runner.
4. Set the ENV VAR "ACTIONS_RUNNER_CONTAINER_HOOKS" with path to index.js.

While checking the code, I miss the step how index.js know where the prepare_job.json is, only that it parse the json with the inputs.

Hope, we get somebody who already know it!
