Is there a way to use the runner images for setting up self hosted runners?

[StephenHodgson]

I'd like to setup my self hosted runners based on the runner images and definitions found in this repository, and to keep my images up to date. Is there a way to utilize the image definitions found here to do so?

yup just use it as your base image:

FROM --platform=${OS}/${ARCH} ghcr.io/actions/actions-runner:latest

ok, but without context I have no idea how to use this 😅

@StephenHodgson where are you running your runners? If using AWS, you might be interested in https://github.com/runs-on/runner-images-for-aws, which provides base AMIs for EC2 instances.

Thanks @crohr but unfortunately using a different cloud provider

What if you're running a macOS runner on a physical Mac?
