GitHub Actions: Self-hosted runners can now disable automatic updates
You now have more control over when your self-hosted runners perform software updates. If you specify the --disableupdate
flag to the runner then it will not try to perform an automatic software update if a newer version of the runner is available. This allows you to update the self-hosted runner on your own schedule and is especially convenient if your self-hosted runner is in a container.
For compatibility with the GitHub Actions service, you will need to manually update your runner within 30 days of a new runner version being available. For instructions on how to install the latest runner version, please see the installation instructions for the latest release in the runner repo.
