Actions Runner

Discussion Details

I have been using self-hosted GH Actions for a few years now without much trouble but a few months back, the runners failed and would not start up again. I tried reinstalling them but get stuck before the config can be set. This is most likely because of an update or something that I did.

Details:

• OS: Debian 13
• Architecture: aarch64
• System: Raspi4 4GB

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select ARM64 in the actions setup on GitHub actions.
2. Follow the instructions to download and unzip the runner.
3. Run the ./config.sh

Output:

not a dynamic executable

./config.sh: line 80: ./bin/Runner.Listener: No such file or directory

For me this was a case of updating the download package properly to select for example the ARM64 architecture:

I was downloading the ARM64 but I think my OS was a bit wrecked after messing around too much. Solved this by creating a new image of the system.
