Auto restart self-hosted runners

1. Follow the usual process for adding a self-hosted runner to an organization.

   1. Navigate to the organization.
   2. Select Settings tab.
   3. In left navigation, select Actions and Runners
   4. Select green New runner button.
   5. Follow prompts.

2. Open the CRON file.

   sudo vim /etc/crontab

3. Add an entry at the end to restart the runner after reboot.

   • replace ubuntu with the username the runner was installed on.
   • adjust the path if the default was not used.

   @reboot ubuntu ~/actions-runner/run.sh

4. Confirm the file contents

   cat /etc/crontab

5. Reboot the machine

   sudo reboot
   

6. Confirm the runner is idle on GitHub.

Delete all workflow runs

Note: Requires GitHub CLI installed.

# Select the target repo
REPO="owner/repo-name"

# Get all workflow run IDs and store in array
WORKFLOW_RUN_IDS=()
while IFS= read -r id; do
  WORKFLOW_RUN_IDS+=("$id")
done < <(
  gh api \
    --paginate \
    "repos/$REPO/actions/runs" \
    --jq '.workflow_runs[].id'
)
WORKFLOW_RUN_COUNT=${#WORKFLOW_RUN_IDS[@]}

# Loop through each and send API call to delete it
echo "Deleting $WORKFLOW_RUN_COUNT workflow runs."
COUNTER=0
for id in "${WORKFLOW_RUN_IDS[@]}"; do
  COUNTER=$((COUNTER + 1))
  echo "$COUNTER/$WORKFLOW_RUN_COUNT - Deleting workflow run with ID: $id"
  gh api -X DELETE "repos/$REPO/actions/runs/$id?cleanup=true"
done
