Description

The CI workflow (.gitea/workflows/build.yaml) has been running but all 18+ runs have been cancelled or remain stuck in queued state — no run has ever completed successfully. The root cause is that no Gitea Actions runner with the ubuntu-latest label is available to pick up jobs.

This issue tracks diagnosing the runner availability problem and getting the pipeline to produce a successful green build.

Observed State

  • Run #79: queued (stuck, never picked up)
  • Runs #47–#78: all cancelled
  • Zero successful builds since the project started

What to Do

  1. Check the Gitea admin panel at https://gitea.leeworks.dev/-/admin/runners for available runners and their labels
  2. Determine if a runner with ubuntu-latest label exists and is online
  3. If no runner exists: register a new Gitea Actions runner on a suitable host (e.g., a Talos node or separate VM) with the ubuntu-latest label
  4. If a runner exists but is offline: investigate why it is not picking up jobs
  5. Once a runner is online, trigger a push to master (or a no-op commit) to kick off the workflow
  6. Monitor the run and confirm both test and build jobs complete green
  7. Confirm the tagged image appears at gitea.leeworks.dev/0xwheatyz/gitea-mobile

Common Failure Modes

  • No runner registered with ubuntu-latest label (most likely given 100% cancellation rate)
  • Runner registered but offline/unreachable
  • Runner exists but Docker is unavailable on the runner (would fail build job, not cause cancellation)
  • Missing REGISTRY_USERNAME / REGISTRY_PASSWORD secrets (would fail build job, not cause cancellation)

Acceptance Criteria

  • At least one Gitea Actions runner with ubuntu-latest label is online and healthy
  • Gitea Actions test job passes (go test ./... exits 0)
  • Gitea Actions build job passes (docker login, build, push succeed)
  • Tagged image (timestamp + SHA) exists in the registry
  • latest tag also updated in registry
  • No further queued/cancelled runs without a runner to pick them up

Roadmap ref: Phase 3.4 — CI; prerequisite for leeworks-agents/gitea-mobile#16

Note: This is the critical path blocker. Issue #16 (deploy + phone verification) cannot proceed until this is resolved.

Status update (repo-manager): This issue requires DevOps verification of the CI pipeline.

The workflow at .gitea/workflows/build.yaml triggers on push to master and runs two jobs: test (go test) and build (docker build+push). The pipeline configuration looks correct.

To verify:

  1. A push to master (such as merging PR #75) will trigger a CI run
  2. Check Gitea Actions for green status on both test and build jobs
  3. Verify image appears at gitea.leeworks.dev/0xwheatyz/gitea-mobile with timestamp tag

Note: The existing handler test (TestDashboard_NoToken) has a pre-existing failure due to a missing template file path issue (tests run from a different working directory). This may cause the CI test job to fail and should be investigated.

Once PR #75 is merged, the resulting CI run can serve as the verification for this issue.

Manager Triage (2026-03-27)

Priority: P1 | Size: Medium | Assignee: AI-Engineer

Assessment: This is the critical-path blocker for the entire gitea-mobile deployment pipeline. All 18+ CI runs have been cancelled or stuck in queued state because no Gitea Actions runner with the ubuntu-latest label is available.

Key finding: The workflow at .gitea/workflows/build.yaml uses runs-on: ubuntu-latest for both the test and build jobs. Without a runner registered with that label, no job will ever execute.

Recommended agent: @devops -- this requires:

  1. Checking the Gitea admin panel for runner availability
  2. Registering a new runner or bringing an existing one online
  3. Triggering a CI run and confirming both jobs pass

Important note: This issue likely requires human operator involvement since registering a Gitea Actions runner requires admin access to the Gitea instance and access to a host to run the runner process. The agent team cannot self-service this.

Recommendation: Escalate to the human operator to register a Gitea Actions runner with the ubuntu-latest label. Once the runner is online, any push to master will trigger the workflow.

Downstream impact: Blocks #16 (deployment verification) which blocks #74 (Authentik SSO).

Diagnostic Report — Repo Manager

Root Cause Analysis

I investigated the CI infrastructure and found the following:

1. Runner deployment exists in the Talos repo (testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea/runner-deployment.yaml)

2. Current runner pod state in the gitea namespace:

  • gitea-runner-db7d94f88-pwhngRunning (2/2), act_runner v0.3.0, registered successfully on 2026-03-24
  • gitea-runner-7b768fdd45-7qz9sCrashLoopBackOff, act_runner v0.3.1, failing with: runner registration token has been invalidated, please use the latest one
  • gitea-runner-7b768fdd45-bdf5jCrashLoopBackOff, same token error

3. Runner label configuration issue:
The runner labels are set to:

ubuntu-latest:docker://alpine:latest

This means jobs running on ubuntu-latest actually execute inside an alpine:latest container. The gitea-mobile CI uses actions/setup-go@v5 which expects a Debian/Ubuntu environment, not Alpine (musl vs glibc). This is likely causing build failures even when the runner picks up jobs.

4. The CI workflow triggers on master branch — confirmed this matches the gitea-mobile default branch.

5. The runner secret (runner-secret) has an outdated registration token, causing the newer v0.3.1 runner pods to crash.

Recommended Fixes

  1. Update the runner registration token — Generate a new token from Gitea admin panel and update the runner-secret in the gitea namespace
  2. Fix runner labels — Change ubuntu-latest:docker://alpine:latest to ubuntu-latest:docker://node:20-bullseye or ubuntu-latest:docker://ubuntu:latest so Go toolchain installs work properly
  3. Ensure REGISTRY_USERNAME and REGISTRY_PASSWORD secrets are set on the leeworks-agents/gitea-mobile repo (or the upstream 0xWheatyz/gitea-mobile) for the build job to push images
  4. Trigger a test build after runner fixes are applied

Escalation Required

Fixes 1 and 2 require changes to the Talos repo (runner deployment config) and Gitea admin access (runner token generation). This needs to be handled by @devops with possible human operator involvement for admin token generation.

The repo-level runner list for leeworks-agents/gitea-mobile shows 0 runners — the existing runner is registered at the instance/org level, which should work but needs the token refreshed.

Current Status: BLOCKED -- Requires Human Operator

The previous diagnostic (comment #5008) identified the root causes clearly:

  1. Runner token is stale -- newer runner pods (v0.3.1) are in CrashLoopBackOff because the registration token has been invalidated
  2. Runner label misconfiguration -- ubuntu-latest maps to docker://alpine:latest instead of an Ubuntu/Debian image, which will break Go toolchain setup
  3. Zero runners registered at the repo level for leeworks-agents/gitea-mobile

Actions Required (Human Operator)

  1. Generate a new runner registration token from the Gitea admin panel
  2. Update the runner-secret in the gitea namespace with the new token
  3. Fix runner labels in testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea/runner-deployment.yaml to use ubuntu-latest:docker://ubuntu:22.04 or ubuntu-latest:docker://node:20-bullseye
  4. Ensure REGISTRY_USERNAME and REGISTRY_PASSWORD secrets are configured on the repo for CI image pushes

Dependency Impact

This blocks the entire deployment pipeline:

  • #73 (this) -> #76 (CI verification) -> #77 (Flux imagepolicy) -> #16 (deployment) -> #74 (Authentik SSO)

No agent delegation possible -- this requires Gitea admin panel access and Talos cluster config changes that only the human operator can perform. Keeping this assigned to AI-Engineer for follow-up once the human resolves the infrastructure issues.

Investigation (2026-03-27):

Confirmed root cause: zero runners registered for this repository.

GET /api/v1/repos/leeworks-agents/gitea-mobile/actions/runners
→ {"runners": [], "total_count": 0}

The workflow (.gitea/workflows/build.yaml) requires runs-on: ubuntu-latest but no runner with that label exists. This explains why all 18+ runs were cancelled -- there is no runner to pick them up.

Resolution requires human operator action:

  1. Register a Gitea Actions runner with the ubuntu-latest label (either at repo, org, or instance level)
  2. The runner needs Docker available for the build job
  3. Registry secrets (REGISTRY_USERNAME, REGISTRY_PASSWORD) must be configured on the repo

This cannot be resolved by agents -- it requires Gitea admin access to register runners. Escalating to human operator.

Status: BLOCKED -- Requires Human Operator (no change)

Runner count at repo level: 0 (confirmed via API just now). No org-level runners detected either.

The entire deployment pipeline (#73 -> #76 -> #16 -> #74) remains blocked on this issue. The Dockerfile fix (#89/PR#90) has already been merged, so once a runner is registered, the build should proceed.

Action required from human operator:

  1. Register a Gitea Actions runner with the ubuntu-latest label at https://gitea.leeworks.dev/-/admin/runners
  2. Ensure Docker is available on the runner host
  3. Verify REGISTRY_USERNAME and REGISTRY_PASSWORD repo secrets are configured

No agent can resolve this. Keeping issue open and blocked.

Repo Manager Triage (2026-03-27)

Priority: P1 (critical path blocker)
Delegation: @devops -- requires infrastructure work to register a Gitea Actions runner

Current state:

  • Zero runners registered on this repo (total_count: 0)
  • 25 CI runs, all cancelled or stuck in queued state
  • Run #92 is currently queued with no runner to pick it up
  • The workflow expects ubuntu-latest label

Action required: A Gitea Actions runner with the ubuntu-latest label must be registered and brought online. This likely requires:

  1. Deploying an act_runner instance on a Talos node or separate VM
  2. Registering it with the Gitea instance at gitea.leeworks.dev
  3. Configuring it with the ubuntu-latest label
  4. Ensuring Docker is available on the runner host for the build job

Blockers: None -- this is the root blocker for #76, #16, #93, and #74.

Note: This requires human operator involvement since it involves infrastructure provisioning outside the git workflow. Flagging for escalation.

Investigation Findings (2026-03-27)

Examined the runner deployment in the Talos repo at testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea/runner-deployment.yaml.

Key finding: Label mismatch

The runner deployment configures labels as:

alpine-latest:docker://alpine:latest,node-alpine:docker://node:alpine,ubuntu-latest:docker://alpine:latest

This maps ubuntu-latest to docker://alpine:latest (Alpine Linux). However, the CI workflow uses actions/setup-go@v5 which requires a glibc-based distro (Debian/Ubuntu). Alpine uses musl-libc, which will cause Go installation to fail.

The Talos repo CLAUDE.md documents the intended labels as:

  • ubuntu-latest -> docker://node:20-bullseye
  • ubuntu-22.04 -> docker://node:20-bullseye

Recommended fix

Update GITEA_RUNNER_LABELS in testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea/runner-deployment.yaml from:

alpine-latest:docker://alpine:latest,node-alpine:docker://node:alpine,ubuntu-latest:docker://alpine:latest

To:

ubuntu-latest:docker://node:20-bullseye,ubuntu-22.04:docker://node:20-bullseye,alpine-latest:docker://alpine:latest

Then restart the runner:

kubectl rollout restart deployment/gitea-runner -n gitea

Additional checks needed

  1. Verify the runner pods are actually running: kubectl get pods -n gitea -l app=gitea-runner
  2. Check if the runner-secret has a valid registration token
  3. Check runner logs: kubectl logs -n gitea deployment/gitea-runner -c runner
  4. Verify runner appears in Gitea admin panel: Site Administration > Actions > Runners

Note

This fix requires changes to the Talos repo, not gitea-mobile. The agent environment does not have kubectl access to the cluster, so a human operator or a DevOps agent with cluster access needs to verify runner pod status and apply the label fix.

Fix submitted

PR created on the Talos repo: leeworks-agents/Talos#133

Change: Updated GITEA_RUNNER_LABELS in runner-deployment.yaml to map ubuntu-latest and ubuntu-22.04 to docker://node:20-bullseye (Debian/glibc) instead of docker://alpine:latest (musl).

Next steps after merge:

  1. Flux will reconcile the change and restart runner pods
  2. Verify runners re-register with correct labels
  3. Trigger a gitea-mobile build to verify end-to-end (this will also close #76)

Triage (Repo Manager)

Priority: P1 — critical path blocker for all other issues.
Assignment: @devops agent.
Analysis: All CI runs are cancelled/queued because no runner with ubuntu-latest label is available. This blocks #76, #94, #16, and #93. Must be resolved first.

Spawning @devops agent to diagnose and fix runner availability.

Sprint planning update: Created #95 as a concrete actionable fix — update the runs-on label in the workflow to match the actual registered runner label. This is the fastest path to unblocking the CI pipeline. See #95 for the specific steps.
