What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Installing Actions Runner Controller To install the operator and the custom resource definitions (CRDs) in your cluster, do the following.

In your Helm chart, update the NAMESPACE value to the location you want your operator pods to be created. This namespace must allow access to the Kubernetes API server. Install the Helm chart. The following example installs the latest version of the chart. To install a specific version, you can pass the --version argument along with the version of the chart you wish to install. You can find the list of releases in the GitHub Container Registry.

NAMESPACE="arc-systems" helm install arc
--namespace "{% raw %}${NAMESPACE}{% endraw %}"
--create-namespace
oci://ghcr.io/actions/actions-runner-controller-charts/gha-runner-scale-set-controller For additional Helm configuration options, see values.yaml in the ARC documentation.

To enable ARC to authenticate to {% data variables.product.company_short %}, generate a {% data variables.product.pat_v1 %}. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

Additional information

The first part the process does not work.

If we just run the helm install, we get this error. helm install arc --namespace arc-systems --create-namespace oci://ghcr.io/actions/actions-runner-controller-charts/gha-runner-scale-set-controller Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: failed to authorize: failed to fetch anonymous token: unexpected status from GET request to https://ghcr.io/token?scope=repository%3Aactions%2Factions-runner-controller-charts%2Fgha-runner-scale-set-controller%3Apull&scope=repository%3Auser%2Fimage%3Apull&service=ghcr.io: 403 Forbidden

@seilorjunior Thank you for opening an issue and linking it to your PR! ✨

@seilorjunior - the reason why you're getting the 403 is due to rate limiting not authentication problems. If you're using a shared public IP with other users, you might hit into this issue. You can read more about it in: Primary rate limit for unauthenticated users

Authentication is not a requirement to pull this helm chart package since it is public. If other users choose to authenticate, they will have their own ways of doing so and we do not wish to be opinionated in that regard.

Thank you for opening this issue and creating the PR but we will not be proceeding with this change.

@Link- i dont think that was regarding rate, my issue was when helm needs to download the image. https://ghcr.io/token?scope=repository%3Aactions%2Factions-runner-controller-charts%2Fgha-runner-scale-set-controller%3Apull&scope=repository%3Auser%2Fimage%3Apull&service=ghcr.io: 403 Forbidden(because i was not authenticated)

@seilorjunior - that package is downloadable without authentication.
