Avoid failures when other runners are already registered with same name

Open jeverling opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, we were running into issues where newly created instances weren't able to register with Github as runners, because by default the hostname is used as --name, and AWS was reusing hostnames from our IP range. This can be fixed by setting the name explicitly, to something that is unique. I think --name $(hostname)-$(uuidgen) should work well.

Fixes https://github.com/machulav/ec2-github-runner/issues/128

It looks like it won't be that soon.

If it helps we are using it like that:

- name: Start EC2 runner
  uses: kimetrica/ec2-github-runner@set-unique-name-in-UserData-script
