Setup macOS GitHub Actions Runners with Tart

Work in progress. Set of scripts and images to automate VMs with Actions Runners on Apple Silicon devices

Pulling VM

# Making sure tart is installed
brew install tart
# Cloning VM
tart clone ghcr.io/dnihze/monterey-xcode::14.0.1 monterey-runner
# By default, VM uses 6 Cores and 12 GB of RAM. You can rescale it like this
tart set monterey-runner --cpu 4 --memory 8192
# Starting VM
tart run monterey-runner

Configure runner manually

# run VM in background
tart run --no-graphics monterey-runner &
# Defautlts ssh password is "admin". Also, give a couple of seconds for VM to boot
ssh admin@$(tart ip monterey-runner)
# Configure actions-runner
cd actions-runner
# For all options use ./config.sh --help
./config.sh --unaunattended --url <repo_url> --token <token> --name runner-$(uuidgen)
# Configure runner to start as a service
./svc.sh install && ./svc.sh start
