Checks
- I've already read https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners-with-actions-runner-controller/troubleshooting-actions-runner-controller-errors and I'm sure my issue is not covered in the troubleshooting guide.I am using charts that are officially provided
Controller Version
0.9.3
Deployment Method
Helm
Checks
- This isn't a question or user support case (For Q&A and community support, go to Discussions).I've read the Changelog before submitting this issue and I'm sure it's not due to any recently-introduced backward-incompatible changes
To Reproduce
- Install latest oci://ghcr.io/actions/actions-runner-controller-charts/gha-runner-scale-set
- Watch as "init-dind-externals" errors out with cp: cannot stat '/home/runner/externals/.': No such file or directory
Describe the bug
Expected my init-dind-externals to work.
Describe the expected behavior
init-dind-externals should start, so that my runner can.
Additional Context
Using this Dockerfile build from the main branch of the repo:
actions-runner-dind.ubuntu-22.04.dockerfile
Passing this values file, straight from the docs, with edits where needed. The images are from my private registry, since our firewall doesn't allow remote pull. I imported/built official Dockerfiles from the repo, or pulled straight from ghcr. I built/imported everything for 0.9.3 today.

I'm running into the same issue using rootless images.

Same boat here, on 0.9.2. It's odd because this is only occurring on one of 3 runnersets, all using the same helm chart and cluster

Submitted a fix (#3740) for this.

I'm encountering this when trying to use values.yaml to specify my runner image:
which is built using Dockerfile:

problem went away when using
ghcr.io/actions/actions-runner:latest
as base image instead ofsummerwind/actions-runner:latest
