Actions Runner on DigitalOcean App Platform

This is a self hosted GitHub Actions runner for deploying to DigitalOcean App Platform. You will get the simplicity of automated cluster deployment and scaling by DigitalOcean App Platform.

It will register and remove itself automatically when DigitalOcean App Platform start and stop the container. You can vertical scale or horizontal scale your runner. If you do a horizontal scale (Pro plan only), all runners will be automatically registered to GitHub.

This project is part of DigitalOcean App Platform Hackathon. See submission post.

Usage

This actions runners can be installed as a runner for repository and organization.
