Using virtual environments on a self-hosted runner?

[vadi2]

I'm using a self-hosted runner only because Github isn't yet able to provide an M1 chip, and the disadvantage of that is that I have to configure all the software myself. I have no intention of maintaining the software myself.

Is it possible to use the virtual environment on my own M1 mac?

Hello @vadi2 , unfortunately, it is not possible for now.
We don't build images for M1 for now because we don't have infrastructure for that. Also we can't distribute ready images due to legal issues.

@tuler they install software which licence prohibits redistribution

Which software is he referring to? The GitHub runner has been released with Apple M1 support.

Which software is he referring to?

Software that is installed as part of this repository.

The GitHub runner has been released with Apple M1 support.

This is just GHA agent.

I see. So when he says "Also we can't distribute ready images due to legal issues" it's not M1 specific, it's for every platform.

Yes, as mentioned in #176 (comment) and #3428 (comment)
