Can't execute job on created EC2

[afedotov-align]

Hi colleagues,

After instance creation job couldn't be run on EC2 machine.
Instances could be created and terminated in my VPC, outbound traffic is allowed on port 443 with security group.
What can be the cause and where I should start troubleshooting?

Thanks, Artem.

Hi colleagues,

Some additional details:
I also tried to use runner-home-dir option. I prepared AMI based on @machulav steps in #38 (comment) but still facing the same behaviour. I also tried to set up actions-runner directory not in root folder but got the same behaviour.

I suspect something with user permissions on created EC2. When I log in on created EC2 while build hanging and trying to execute

./config.sh --url https://github.com/aligntech/sandbox --token XXX
output:
2ZK
Must not run with sudo

Please also see logs from ./_diag/Runner_20211019-122418-utc.log

Hello everyone,

I was finally managed to figure out the cause of the issue!

./bin/installdependencies.sh must be run while preparing AMI for build

I used centos-release-7-9.2009.1.el7.centos.x86_64.

I suppose it could be mentioned in preparation steps, because it's not really obvious. Or this step could be added to steps for client installation.

Thanks, Artem.

I get this output when I run ./bin/installdependencies.sh:

The instance AMI is Amazon Linux 2. Can you please explain what you mean by "I used centos-release-7-9.2009.1.el7.centos.x86_64."? Thanks!
