Hi. I would like to change the bind address of the act_runner daemon, from :: to 127.0.0.1. This increases security / makes the network more legible. I have not found an option to do this. So it would be great if there was an option in the config file for example named bind_address or listen_address.
Thanks in advance.

  # So 0.0.0.0 is a bad choice, leave it empty to detect automatically.
  host: ""
  # The port of the cache server.
  # 0 means to use a random available port.
  port: 0
  # The external cache server URL. Valid only when enable is true.
  # If it's specified, it will be used to set the ACTIONS_CACHE_URL environment variable. The URL should generally end with "/".
  # Otherwise it will be set to the the URL of the internal cache server.

This is what you are looking for.

I suppose you figured it out by now 😇

Thanks for the reply!
I tried out the config, and while the port settings work, the host setting sadly does nothing :(
Config:

cache:
  host: "127.0.0.1"
  port: 8008
  proxy_port: 8009

Netstat:

tcp6       0      0 :::8009                 :::*                    LISTEN      1248362/act_runner  
tcp6       0      0 :::8008                 :::*                    LISTEN      1248362/act_runner

It is still listening on all addresses.

My bad, I misunderstood the question. Looking at the config.example.yaml comments, it needs to be fixed in the documentation because it currently is rather confusing. The host and extrenal_server parts need to be reworded.

It is also not possible to set the listen address and that is a good feature to have.
