# Forgejo runner setup

Run forgejo runners instance inside a VM to do very dirty things but securely. <br><br>
The "dirty things" is just having forgejo running in priviliged container, with direct access to the host (VM) docker socket. <br><br>
Runners can easily get full access to host, but the host is a VM so it's ok <br><br>
I use [incus](https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/) to create the VM. I love it, very simple, docker like interface <br><br>
See launch_forgejo_runner_vm.sh for more information about the VM setup. <br><br>


To setup, you still need to enter VM, and follow forgejo [runner instalation guide](https://forgejo.org/docs/next/admin/actions/runner-installation/) <br><br>
It's still a little bit manual, but it's done in 30s
