## Project history and usage

Forgejo Runner is the official worker program for Forgejo Actions continuous integration.

### Project history

Forgejo Runner is maintained as the execution service for Forgejo Actions. Forgejo schedules workflows, while separately installed runners fetch and execute their jobs.

### Adoption history

Forgejo documents binary, container, and distribution-package installation routes. These establish supported deployment channels without quantifying adoption.

### How it is used

Register the runner, configure execution labels, and start its daemon with an explicit configuration path. Labels select container-based or direct host execution.

### Why package nerds care

Its separate installation lets administrators manage workflow execution infrastructure independently of the forge server.

### Timeline

- Forgejo 1.21: Actions became enabled by default in Forgejo.

### Related projects

- Forgejo; Docker; Podman; LXC.
