Disable runner auto update

Describe the bug We are running the runner in docker containers and it is forcing us to update the runner and shuts it down.

Is there any way we can disable this?

https://github.com/ydataai/docker-github-runner -> project with the Dockerfile to build runner in containers

To Reproduce

1. Go to the folder where you have github-runner
2. execute ./run.sh
3. Run a job

Expected behavior I want to run the runner without it forcing me to update and shutting down my docker

Runner Version and Platform

Version of your runner? v2.169.1

OS of the machine running the runner? Linux

Every time an update is released, my kube runners go into a crash loop backoff. 😦

It’s not about being interactive or not, it’s about user features, if for some reason i want to be stuck on that runner version, no matter the reason, i think that’s up to me, right?

I’m not saying that it should be as this, but it’s an odd behaviour, if i have that image tagged with the version of the runner, it will loose sense then. What if the update breaks, that runner will be down and that’s not cool. And this internal self update is something that shouldn’t happen in a container, that’s why it was nice to have a flag to disable it.

And svc.sh it attached to systemd cli and we would prefer to not have it in the machine.

Thanks for the info, feel free to close the issue.
