+# Runner Images
+This contains the docker runner image used by the Gitea Action runner.
+
+## Updating the runner
+The runner will run from a cached version of the image.
+In order to use the new version, one has to obtain a shell in the runner container, and pull the image again.
+
+```sh
+ssh pi
+docker exec -it homeserver-gitea-runner-1 /bin/sh
+docker pull seeseemelk/runner-images:ubuntu-latest
+```
