+# Self-hosted runners
+
+For building `aarch64` images, we use self-hosted GitHub runners.
+The runner is hosted on the apple silicon machine in PSI.
+
+Configure your runner:
+
+1. Run under `root`:
+
+   Run this with caution. It can also be run manually step by step. See [setup.sh](setup.sh) for details.
+
+   ```bash
+   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/main/HEAD/aarch64-runner/setup.sh)"
+   ```
+
+   This will perform the initial runner setup and create a user `runner-user`.
+
+2. Run under `root`, Start docker service, we use [`colima`](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima) as the container runtime:
+
+   ```bash
+   colima start
+   ```
+
+   This command needs to be run every time after reboot. *(Optional: make it auto start on boot)*
+
+3. Setup new GitHub Runner under `runner-user` using [GitHub Instructions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners/adding-self-hosted-runners).
+   **Do not `./run.sh` yet**.
+   **In the first step, use folder `actions-runner-aiidalab` to distinguish from the other runners.**
+
+4. Run under `runner-user`, install the runner as a service:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd /Users/runner-user/actions-runner-aiidalab/ && ./svc.sh install
+   ```
+   This will create the plist file for the runner service, it is not able to run it with the non-gui user.
+   As shown in the [issue](https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/1056#issuecomment-1237426462), real services start on boot, not on login so on macOS this means the service needs to be a `LaunchDaemon` and not a `LaunchAgent`.
+
+   In case the python path is not correct, change the `runsvc.sh` file to the correct path.
+   Since we use `colima` as the container runtime, the docker sock is located at `unix://$HOME/.colima/default/docker.sock`.
+   Change the `runsvc.sh` file to (notice we add two export lines so the runner can find the correct python and docker sock):
+
+   ```bash
+   #!/bin/bash
+
+   # convert SIGTERM signal to SIGINT
+   # for more info on how to propagate SIGTERM to a child process see: http://veithen.github.io/2014/11/16/sigterm-propagation.html
+   trap 'kill -INT $PID' TERM INT
+
+   if [ -f ".path" ]; then
+      # configure
+      export PATH=`cat .path`
+      eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
+      export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"
+      export DOCKER_HOST="unix://$HOME/.colima/default/docker.sock
+      echo ".path=${PATH}"
+   fi
+
+   nodever=${GITHUB_ACTIONS_RUNNER_FORCED_NODE_VERSION:-node16}
+
+   # insert anything to setup env when running as a service
+   # run the host process which keep the listener alive
+   ./externals/$nodever/bin/node ./bin/RunnerService.js &
+   PID=$!
+   wait $PID
+   trap - TERM INT
+   wait $PID
+   ```
+
+   Then, move the plist file to the correct location and load the service:
+   ```bash
+   sudo mv /Users/runner-user/Library/LaunchAgents/actions.runner.*.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/
+   sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/actions.runner.*.plist
+   sudo /bin/launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/actions.runner.aiidalab.Jusong-MacBook-Air.plist
+   ```
+
+5. Reboot the VM to apply all updates and run GitHub runner.
