Chainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.
For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev
:

This document outlines how to test our gha-runner-scale-set-controller
image. You can set up ARC on Kubernetes using Helm, then create and run a workflow that uses runner scale sets.
For more information about runner scale sets, you should refer to the official documentation, Quickstart for Actions Runner Controller.
You can find a detailed list of prerequisites in the official documentation, (here)[https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners-with-actions-runner-controller/quickstart-for-actions-runner-controller#prerequisites).
But for the sake of simplicity, all you need is:
that's all.
To test the gha-runner-scale-set-controller
image, you can follow these steps:
For that, you will need two things:
GITHUB_PAT
Once you did that you can create and run a workflow that uses runner scale sets like the following:
That's it! You have successfully tested the gha-runner-scale-set-controller
image.
Chainguard Containers are minimal container images that are secure by default.
In many cases, the Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest
contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Containers are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.
The main features of Chainguard Containers include:
For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a -dev
variant.
Although the -dev
container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to leverage the -dev
variants, copying application artifacts into a final minimal container that offers a reduced attack surface that won’t allow package installations or logins.
