About self-hosted runners
Executores auto-hospedados oferecem mais controle de hardware, sistema operacional e ferramentas de software do que os executores hospedados pelo GitHub. Com executores auto-hospedados, você pode optar por criar uma configuração de hardware personalizado com mais poder de processamento ou memória para executar trabalhos maiores, software de instalação disponível na sua rede local e escolher um sistema operacional não oferecido por executores hospedados do GitHub. Self-hosted runners can be physical, virtual, in a container, on-premises, or in a cloud.
You can add self-hosted runners at various levels in the management hierarchy:
- Repository-level runners are dedicated to a single repository.
- Organization-level runners can process jobs for multiple repositories in an organization.
- Enterprise-level runners can be assigned to multiple organizations in an enterprise account.
Your runner machine connects to GitHub Enterprise Server using the GitHub Actions self-hosted runner application. O aplicativo de executor do GitHub Actions tem código aberto. Você pode contribuir e arquivar problemas no repositório runner. When a new version is released, the runner application automatically updates itself when a job is assigned to the runner, or within a week of release if the runner hasn't been assigned any jobs.
Um executor auto-hospedado é automaticamente removido de GitHub Enterprise Server se não se conectar a GitHub Actions por mais de 30 dias.
For more information about installing and using self-hosted runners, see "Adding self-hosted runners" and "Using self-hosted runners in a workflow."
Differences between GitHub-hosted and self-hosted runners
GitHub-hosted runners offer a quicker, simpler way to run your workflows, while self-hosted runners are a highly configurable way to run workflows in your own custom environment.
GitHub-hosted runners:
- Receive automatic updates for the operating system, preinstalled packages and tools, and the self-hosted runner application.
- Are managed and maintained by GitHub.
- Provide a clean instance for every job execution.
- Use free minutes on your GitHub plan, with per-minute rates applied after surpassing the free minutes.
Self-hosted runners:
- Receive automatic updates for the self-hosted runner application only. You are responsible for updating the operating system and all other software.
- Can use cloud services or local machines that you already pay for.
- Are customizable to your hardware, operating system, software, and security requirements.
- Don't need to have a clean instance for every job execution.
- Are free to use with GitHub Actions, but you are responsible for the cost of maintaining your runner machines.
Requirements for self-hosted runner machines
You can use any machine as a self-hosted runner as long at it meets these requirements:
- You can install and run the self-hosted runner application on the machine. For more information, see "Supported architectures and operating systems for self-hosted runners."
- The machine can communicate with GitHub Actions. For more information, see "Communication between self-hosted runners and GitHub Enterprise Server."
- The machine has enough hardware resources for the type of workflows you plan to run. The self-hosted runner application itself only requires minimal resources.
- If you want to run workflows that use Docker container actions or service containers, you must use a Linux machine and Docker must be installed.
Usage limits
There are some limits on GitHub Actions usage when using self-hosted runners. These limits are subject to change.
- Tempo de execução do fluxo de trabalho - Cada execução do fluxo de trabalho é limitada a 72 horas. Se a execução de um fluxo de trabalho atingir esse limite, a execução do fluxo de trabalho será cancelada.
- Job queue time - Each job for self-hosted runners can be queued for a maximum of 24 hours. If a self-hosted runner does not start executing the job within this limit, the job is terminated and fails to complete.
- Solicitações de API - Você pode executar até 1000 solicitações de API por hora em todas as ações dentro de um repositório. Se excedido, as chamadas de API adicionais falharão, o que pode causar falha nas tarefas.
- Job matrix - Uma matriz de tarefas pode gerar 256 tarefas no máximo por execução do fluxo de trabalho. Este limite também se aplica a executores auto-hospedados.
- Fila de execução do fluxo de trabalho - Apenas 500 execuções do fluxo de trabalho podem ser enfileiradas em um segundo intervalo de 10 segundos por repositório. Se a execução de um fluxo de trabalho atingir esse limite, a execução do fluxo de trabalho terminará e falhará em ser concluída.
Workflow continuity for self-hosted runners
Se os serviços de GitHub Actions estiverem temporariamente indisponíveis, a execução do fluxo de trabalho será descartada se não tiver sido enfileirada em 30 minutos após ser acionada. Por exemplo, se um fluxo de trabalho for acionado e os serviços de GitHub Actions não estiverem disponíveis por 31 minutos ou mais, a execução do fluxo de trabalho não será processada.

Supported actions on self-hosted runners
Some extra configuration might be required to use actions from GitHub.com with GitHub Enterprise Server, or to use the actions/setup-LANGUAGE
actions with self-hosted runners that do not have internet access. For more information, see "Managing access to actions from GitHub.com" and contact your GitHub Enterprise site administrator.
Communication between self-hosted runners and GitHub Enterprise Server
The self-hosted runner polls GitHub Enterprise Server to retrieve application updates and to check if any jobs are queued for processing. The self-hosted runner uses a HTTPS long poll that opens a connection to GitHub Enterprise Server for 50 seconds, and if no response is received, it then times out and creates a new long poll. The application must be running on the machine to accept and run GitHub Actions jobs.
The connection between self-hosted runners and GitHub Enterprise Server is over HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443).
You must ensure that the machine has the appropriate network access to communicate with your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. Self-hosted runners connect directly to your GitHub Enterprise Server instance and do not require any external internet access in order to function. As a result, you can use network routing to direct communication between the self-hosted runner and your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. For example, you can assign a private IP address to your self-hosted runner and configure routing to send traffic to your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, with no need for traffic to traverse a public network.
You can also use self-hosted runners with a proxy server. For more information, see "Using a proxy server with self-hosted runners."
Communication between self-hosted runners and GitHub.com
Self-hosted runners do not need to connect to GitHub.com unless you have enabled automatic access to GitHub.com actions using GitHub Connect.
If you have enabled automatic access to GitHub.com actions using GitHub Connect, then the self-hosted runner will connect directly to GitHub.com to download actions. You must ensure that the machine has the appropriate network access to communicate with the GitHub URLs listed below.
Note: Some of the domains listed below are configured using CNAME
records. Some firewalls might require you to add rules recursively for all CNAME
records. Note that the CNAME
records might change in the future, and that only the domains listed below will remain constant.
github.com
api.github.com
codeload.github.com
Self-hosted runner security
Untrusted workflows running on your self-hosted runner pose significant security risks for your machine and network environment, especially if your machine persists its environment between jobs. Some of the risks include:
- Malicious programs running on the machine.
- Escaping the machine's runner sandbox.
- Exposing access to the machine's network environment.
- Persisting unwanted or dangerous data on the machine.
