log_info() etc. wrote to stdout, unlike openbao's identical functions which write to stderr specifically so $(fn) capture is safe. lib/common.sh's detect_latest_alpine_template() does `log_info "Selected..."; echo "$tmpl"` — in gitea-runner, TEMPLATE=$(detect_latest_alpine_template) therefore captured the log line and ANSI codes along with the template name, breaking both the pveam list lookup and pct create's template argument.
Gitea Act Runner
Automated installation script for a Gitea Actions runner in an Alpine LXC on Proxmox.
Features
Single script, three automatic modes:
| Context | Action |
|---|---|
| From Proxmox host | Creates Alpine LXC + installs everything |
| From empty LXC | Installs Docker + act_runner + OpenRC service |
| From LXC with act_runner installed | Updates binary to latest version |
Usage
Full install (from Proxmox shell)
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gitea.arnodo.fr/Damien/infra-scripts/raw/branch/main/gitea-runner/install.sh)"
The script automatically creates an Alpine LXC (template auto-detected from pveam available) with Docker and act_runner.
Customization
Environment variables to override defaults:
CTID=120 HOSTNAME=runner-02 CORES=4 RAM=4096 bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gitea.arnodo.fr/Damien/infra-scripts/raw/branch/main/gitea-runner/install.sh)"

Runner registration
After installation, enter the LXC and register the runner:
pct enter <CTID>
cd /var/lib/gitea-runner
su -s /bin/bash gitea-runner -c "act_runner register"
rc-service gitea-runner start
Update
From inside the LXC:
curl -fsSL https://gitea.arnodo.fr/Damien/infra-scripts/raw/branch/main/gitea-runner/install.sh | bash
The script detects that act_runner is already installed and switches to update mode automatically. Re-running from the Proxmox host does the same, plus refreshes the LXC's Alpine packages first (apk update && apk upgrade).
Architecture
- OS: Alpine 3.23 (LXC non-privileged, nesting active)
- Docker: installed via apk, OpenRC service
- act_runner: official binary from gitea.com/gitea/act_runner
- Service: OpenRC with logs in
