Gitea Runner Manager (GRM)
A lean command-line tool to automate the installation, configuration, and lifecycle management of Gitea Actions runners on Arch Linux, Ubuntu, and Debian hosts.
Each runner runs in an isolated rootless Docker environment under a dedicated system user, enabling multiple runners to operate in parallel on the same host without conflicts.
Pronunciation: GRM is short for Gitea Runner Manager, but say it like ГРЪМ (roughly "GRUM") — the Bulgarian word for thunder. An open-source project from Oblachno (облачно means cloudy in Bulgarian).
