Summary

Adds container/: a rootless Podman + systemd (Quadlet) setup for running
per-project Gitea Actions runners on a single host, as an alternative to one
VM per project.

Uses the host executor with a purpose-built image that bakes in the Rust
toolchain and all build dependencies (opus, alsa, soapysdr, clang), so CI runs
skip the per-run install and the cold soapysdr-sys build that dominated the
initial pipeline.

Containerfile — Debian image: build deps + clang + Rust (fmt/clippy) + Node
- reuse + sudo + the act_runner binary.
entrypoint.sh — registers on first boot (if no .runner exists), seeds the
config into the data volume, then runs the daemon.
config.yaml — act_runner config template; label ubuntu-latest:host.
trx-rs-runner.container / project2-runner.container — Quadlet units, one
per project. Separate names/volumes/tokens; shared label; registration scope
keeps their jobs apart. Resource caps included.
README.md — build, registration, tuning, and the one required workflow
change.

Note

The host executor cannot run Docker-based actions, so the reuse job (which
uses fsfe/reuse-action@v5) must be switched to run: reuse lint when using
these runners — reuse is baked into the image. Details and the snippet are in
the README. The lint and test jobs are unchanged (their install/rustup
steps become fast no-ops on the baked image).

All files carry inline SPDX headers, so the REUSE check stays green.

## Summary Adds `container/`: a rootless Podman + systemd (Quadlet) setup for running per-project Gitea Actions runners on a single host, as an alternative to one VM per project. Uses the **host executor** with a purpose-built image that bakes in the Rust toolchain and all build dependencies (opus, alsa, soapysdr, clang), so CI runs skip the per-run install and the cold `soapysdr-sys` build that dominated the initial pipeline. ## Contents - `Containerfile` — Debian image: build deps + clang + Rust (fmt/clippy) + Node + `reuse` + `sudo` + the `act_runner` binary. - `entrypoint.sh` — registers on first boot (if no `.runner` exists), seeds the config into the data volume, then runs the daemon. - `config.yaml` — act_runner config template; label `ubuntu-latest:host`. - `trx-rs-runner.container` / `project2-runner.container` — Quadlet units, one per project. Separate names/volumes/tokens; shared label; registration scope keeps their jobs apart. Resource caps included. - `README.md` — build, registration, tuning, and the one required workflow change. ## Note The host executor cannot run Docker-based actions, so the `reuse` job (which uses `fsfe/reuse-action@v5`) must be switched to `run: reuse lint` when using these runners — `reuse` is baked into the image.

Add container/: a rootless Podman + systemd (Quadlet) setup to run
per-project Gitea Actions runners on one host instead of VMs. Uses the
host executor with a purpose-built image that bakes in the Rust toolchain
and all build dependencies (opus, alsa, soapysdr, clang), so CI runs skip
the per-run install and cold soapysdr-sys build.

Includes the runner Containerfile, first-boot registration entrypoint,
act_runner config template, two Quadlet units (trx-rs + a second project),
and a README covering build, registration, the required host-executor
workflow tweak, and tuning.
