+# ADR: Notification Hooks for Runners
+
+## Context
+
+This ADR details the design changes for supporting custom configurable hooks for on various runner events. This has been a long requested user feature [here](https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/1543), [here](https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/699) and [here](https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/1116) for users to have more information on runner observability, and for the ability to run cleanup and teardown jobs. 
+
+This feature is mainly intended for self hosted runner administrators.
+
+**What we hope to solve with this feature**
+1. A runner admininstrator is able to add custom scripts to cleanup their runner environment at the start or end of a job
+2. A runner admininstrator is able to add custom scripts to help setup their runner environment at the beginning of a job, for reasons like [caching](https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/1543#issuecomment-1050346279)
+3. A runner administrator is able to grab custom telemetry of jobs running on their self hosted runner
+
+**What we don't think this will solve**
+- Policy features that require certain steps run at the beginning or end of all jobs
+  - This would be better solved to in a central place in settings, rather then decentralized on each runner. 
+  - The Proposed `Notification Hooks for Runners` is limited to self hosted runners, we don't beileve Policy features should be
+- Reuse scenarios between jobs are covered by [composite actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/creating-a-composite-action) and [resuable workflows](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows)
+- Security applications, security should be handled on the policy side on the server, not decentralized on each runner
+
+## Hooks
+- We will expose 2 variables that users can set to enable hooks  
+  - `ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_STARTED`
+  - `ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_COMPLETED`
+
+You can set these variables to the **absolute** path of a a `.sh` or `.ps1` file.
+
+We will execute `pwsh` (fallback to `powershell`) or `bash` (fallback to `sh`) as appropriate.
+- `.sh` files will execute with the args `-e {pathtofile}`
+- `.ps1` files will execute with the args `-command \". '{pathtofile}'\"`
+
+We will **not** set the [standard flags we typically set](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsshell) for `runs` commands. So, if you want to set `pipefail` on `bash` for example, you will need to do that in your script.
+
+### UI
+We want to ensure the experience for users invoking workflows is good, if hooks take too long, you may feel your job is delayed or broken. So, much like `Set Up Job`, we will generate two new steps automatically in your job, one for each configured hook: 
+- `Set up runner`  
+- `Complete runner` 
+
+These steps will contain all of the output from invoking your hook, so you will have visibility into the runtime. We will also provide information on the path to the hook, and what shell we are invoking it as, much like we do for `run: ` steps.
+
+### Contexts
+When running your hooks, some context on your job may be helpful.
+- The scripts will have access to the standard [default environment variables](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/environment-variables#default-environment-variables)
+  - Some of these variables are step specific like `GITHUB_ACTION`, in which case they will not be set
+- You can pull the full webhook event payload from `GITHUB_EVENT_PATH`
+
+### Commands
+Should we expose [Commands](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions) and [Environment Files](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#environment-files)
+
+**Yes**. Imagine a scenario where a runner administrator is deprecating a runner pool, and they need to [warn users](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#setting-a-warning-message) to swap to a different pool, we should support them in doing this. However, there are some limitations:
+- [save-state](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#sending-values-to-the-pre-and-post-actions) will **not** be supported, these are not traditional steps with pre and post actions
+- [set-output](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#using-workflow-commands-to-access-toolkit-functions) will **not** be supported, there is no `id` as this is not a traditional step
+
+
+### Environment Files
+We will also enable [Environment Files](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#environment-files) to support setup scenarios for the runner environment.
+
+While a self hosted runner admin can [set env variables](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/using-a-proxy-server-with-self-hosted-runners#using-a-env-file-to-set-the-proxy-configuration), these apply to all jobs. By enabling the ability to `add a path` and `set an env` we give runner admins the ability to do this dynamically based on the [workflows environment variables](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/environment-variables#default-environment-variables) to empower setup scenarios.
+
+
+### Exit codes
+These are **synchronous** hooks, so they will block job execution while they are being run. Exit code 0 will indicate a successful run of the hook and we will proceed with the job, any other exit code will fail the job with an appropriate annotation.
+- There will be no support for `continue-on-error`
+
+## Key Decisions
+- We will expose 2 variables that users can set to enable hooks  
+  - `ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_STARTED`
+  - `ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_COMPLETED`
+- Users can set these variables to the path of a `.sh` or `.ps1` file, which we will execute when Jobs are started or completed.
+  - Output from these will be added to a new step at the start/end of a job named `Set up runner` or `Complete runner`. 
+    - These steps will only be generated on runs with these hooks
+- These hooks `always()` execute if the env variable is set
+- These files will execute as the Runner user, outside of any container specification on the job
+- These are **synchronous** hooks
+  - Runner admins can execute a background process for async hooks if they want
+  - We will fail the job and halt execution on any exit code that is not 0. The Runner admin is responsible for returning the correct exit code and ensuring resilency. 
+    - This includes that the runner user needs access to the file in the env and the file must exist
+    - There will be no `continue-on-error` type option on launch
+    - There will be no `timeout` option on launch
+
+## Consequences
+- Runner admins have the ability to tie into the runner job execution to publish their own telemetry or perform their own cleanup or setup
+- New steps will be added to the UI showcasing the output of these hooks

+# ADR 0000: Container Hooks
+
+**Date**: 2022-05-12
+
+**Status**: Accepted
+
+# Background
+
+[Job Hooks](https://github.com/actions/runner/blob/main/docs/adrs/1751-runner-job-hooks.md) have given users the ability to customize how their self hosted runners run a job.
+Users also want the ability to customize how they run containers during the scope of the job, rather then being locked into the docker implementation we have in the runner. They may want to use podman, kubernetes, or even change the docker commands we run. 
+We should give them that option, and publish examples how how they can create their own hooks.
+
+# Guiding Principles
+- **Extensibility** is the focus, we need to make sure we are flexible enough to cover current and future scenarios, even at the cost of making it harder to utilize these hooks
+- Args should map **directly** to yaml values provided by the user. 
+  - For example, the current runner overrides `HOME`, we can do that in the hook, but we shouldn't pass that hook as an ENV with the other env's the user has set, as that is not user input, it is how the runner invokes containers
+
+## Interface
+- You will set the variable `ACTIONS_RUNNER_CONTAINER_HOOKS=/Users/foo/runner/hooks.js` which is the entrypoint to your hook handler.
+  - There is no partial opt in, you must handle every hook 
+- We will pass a command and some args via `stdin`
+- An exit code of 0 is a success, every other exit code is a failure
+- We will support the same runner commands we support in [Job Hooks](https://github.com/actions/runner/blob/main/docs/adrs/1751-runner-job-hooks.md)
+- On timeout, we will send a sigint to your process. If you fail to terminate within a reasonable amount of time, we will send a sigkill, and eventually kill the process tree.
+
+An example input looks like
+```json
+{
+  "command": "job_cleanup",
+  "responseFile": "/users/thboop/runner/_work/{guid}.json",
+  "args": {},
+  "state": 
+  {
+      "id": "82e8219701fe096a35941d869cf8d71af1d943b5d3bdd718850fb87ac3042480"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`command` is the command we expect you to invoke
+`responseFile` is the file you need to write your output to, if the command has output
+`args` are the specific arguments the command needs
+`state` is a json blog you can pass around to maintain your state, this is covered in more details below.
+
+### Writing responses to a file
+All text written to stdout or stderr should appear in the job or step logs. With that in mind, we support a few ways to actually return data:
+1. Wrapping the json in some unique tag and processing it like we do commands
+2. Writing to a file
+
+For 1, users typically view logging information as a safe action, so we worry someone accidentialy logging unsantized information and causing unexpected or un-secure behavior. We eventually plan to move off of stdout/stderr style commands in favor of a runner cli. 
+Investing in this area doesn't make a lot of sense at this time.
+
+While writing to a file to communicate isn't the most ideal pattern, its an existing pattern in the runner and serves us well, so lets reuse it.
+
+### Output
+Your output must be correctly formatted json. An example output looks like:
+
+```
+{
+  "state": {},
+  "context"
+  {
+    "container" : 
+    {
+      "id": "82e8219701fe096a35941d869cf8d71af1d943b5d3bdd718850fb87ac3042480"
+      "network": "github_network_53269bd575974817b43f4733536b200c"
+    }
+    "services": {
+      "redis": {
+        "id": "60972d9aa486605e66b0dad4abb638dc3d9116f566579e418166eedb8abb9105",
+        "ports": {
+          "8080": "8080"
+        },
+      "network": "github_network_53269bd575974817b43f4733536b200c"
+    }
+  }
+  "alpine: true,
+}
+```
+
+`state` is a unique field any command can return. If it is not empty, we will store the state for you and pass it into all future commands. You can overwrite it by having the next hook invoked return a unique state.
+
+Other fields are dependent upon the command being run.
+
+### Versioning
+We will not version these hooks at launch. If needed, we can always major version split these hooks in the future. We will ship in Beta to allow for breaking changes for a few months.
+
+### The Job Context
+The [job context](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/contexts#example-contents-of-the-job-context) currently has a variety of fields that correspond to containers. We should consider allowing hooks to populate new fields in the job context. That is out of scope for this original release however.
+
+## Hooks
+Hooks are to be implemented at a very high level, and map to actions the runner does, rather then specific docker actions like `docker build` or `docker create`. By mapping to runner actions, we create a very extensible framework that is flexible enough to solve any user concerns in the future. By providing first party implementations, we give users easy starting points to customize specific hooks (like `docker build`) without having to write full blown solutions.
+
+The other would be to provide hooks that mirror every docker call we make, and expose more hooks to help support k8s users, with the expectation that users may have to no-op on multiple hooks if they don't correspond to our use case.
+
+Why we don't want to go that way
+- It feels clunky, users need to understand which hooks they need to implement and which they can ignore, which isn't a great UX
+- It doesn't scale well, I don't want to build a solution where we may need to add more hooks, by mapping to runner actions, updating hooks is a painful experience for users
+- Its overwhelming, its easier to tell users to build 4 hooks and track data themselves, rather then 16 hooks where the runner needs certain information and then needs to provide that information back into each hook. If we expose `Container Create`, you need to return the container you created, then we do `container run` which uses that container. If we just give you an image and say create and run this container, you don't need to store the container id in the runner, and it maps better to k8s scenarios where we don't really have container ids.
+
+### Prepare_job hook
+The `prepare_job` hook is called when a job is started. We pass in any job or service containers the job has. We expect that you:
+- Prune anything from previous jobs if needed
+- Create a network if needed
+- Pull the job and service containers
+- Start the job container
+- Start the service containers
+- Write to the response file some information we need
+  - Required: if the container is alpine, otherwise x64
+  - Optional: any context fields you want to set on the job context, otherwise they will be unavailable for users to use
+- Return 0 when the health checks have succeeded and the job/service containers are started
+
+This hook will **always** be called if you have container hooks enabled, even if no service or job containers exist in the job. This allows you to fail the job or implement a default job container if you want to and no job container has been provided.

+Currently we build all container actions at the start of the job. By doing it during the hook, we move this to just in time building for hooks. We could expose a hook to build/pull a container action, and have those called at the start of a job, but doing so would require hook authors to track the build containers in the state, which could be painful.

+## Limitations
+- We will only support linux on launch
+- Hooks are set by the runner admin, and thus are only supported on self hosted runners 
+
+## Consequences
+- We support non docker scenarios for self hosted runners and allow customers to customize their docker invocations
+- We ship/maintain docs on docker hooks and an open source repo with examples
+- We support these hooks and add enough telemetry to be able to troubleshoot support issues as they come in.

 ## How to fix the issue?

-### 1. Check the common network issue
+### 1. Check global and system git config
+
+If you are having issues connecting to the server, check your global and system git config for any unexpected authentication headers. You might be seeing an error like:
+
+```
+fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/actions/checkout/': The requested URL returned error: 400
+```
+
+The following commands can be used to check for unexpected authentication headers:
+
+```
+$ git config --global --list | grep extraheader
+http.extraheader=AUTHORIZATION: unexpected_auth_header
+
+$ git config --system --list | grep extraheader
+```
+
+The following command can be used to remove the above value: `git config --global --unset http.extraheader`
+

-### 2. SSL certificate related issue
+### 3. SSL certificate related issue

  If you are seeing `SSL Certificate problem:` in the log, it means the `git` can't connect to the GitHub server due to SSL handshake failure.
