Features

• Run your Gitea Actions workflow job in ephemeral virtual machine.
• Isolate gitea act runner .runner file from job running environment.

Prerequisites

• An amd64 host. KVM support preferred (or required. Emulation is terribly slow).
• Linux. Debian 12 preferred (As of the day when this tutorial got done).
• A powerful CPU
