A daemon that connects to a Forgejo instance and runs jobs for CI.
The Forgejo Runner is a lightweight daemon that executes CI/CD jobs (Forgejo Actions)
by polling a Forgejo instance for tasks, running them, and reporting results.
This snap allows for containerized automation and is integrated with Docker (also snap)
for job execution.
Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install Forgejo Runner
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Enable snapd
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
