Checks
  • This isn't a question or user support case (For Q&A and community support, go to Discussions. It might also be a good idea to contract with any of contributors and maintainers if your business is so critical and therefore you need priority support
  • I've read releasenotes before submitting this issue and I'm sure it's not due to any recently-introduced backward-incompatible changes
  • My actions-runner-controller version (v0.x.y) does support the feature
  • I've already upgraded ARC (including the CRDs, see charts/actions-runner-controller/docs/UPGRADING.md for details) to the latest and it didn't fix the issue
  • I've migrated to the workflow job webhook event (if you using webhook driven scaling)

To Reproduce
Try to do long requests such as: argocd app sync
Describe the bug

When trying to do a sync action (or a curl to bring a big package) we get the following error: runner@large-github-runner-clsdh-98hzg:/$ argocd app sync -l service_name=sample-go-service --retry-limit 10 --retry-backoff-duration 20s FATA[0005] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = Post "https://argocd-service-name.company.com/application.ApplicationService/List": EOF

This issue does not occur on any other container or from laptop.
The issue is definitely from the runner as we eliminated any other option and check the ingresses logs.

To be more precise - this issue happens sporadically, every 3-5 times that we try.

Describe the expected behavior

We expect the runner to be able to perform requests and understand why this is happening.
we tried to change the MTU and implement the env variable 'ARC_DOCKER_MTU_PROPAGATION' with no luck.

Any assistance will be appreciated

Research direction

Start by reviewing the RunnerDeployment configuration and reproducing a long outbound request such as argocd app sync from the runner pod. Compare the intermittent EOF responses with the runner pod logs and the reported MTU settings; done means identifying the runner-side cause and documenting a verified fix.
