+#### Tool cache
+
+Setup actions like `setup-go` install tools into `RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE`, which is `/opt/hostedtoolcache` inside a job. `runner.tool_cache_mode` selects what backs it:
+
+| Mode | Tool cache | Trade-off |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `none` (default) | Per job, provided by the job image | A version the image lacks is downloaded in every job |
+| `shared` | One volume reused by every job | Two jobs writing the same tool version at once corrupt it, so use it only with `runner.capacity: 1` |
+
+With `none`, tools must come from the job image. Install them into `/opt/hostedtoolcache/<tool>/<version>/<arch>`, with an empty `<arch>.complete` file next to the directory:

+Containers a job starts through the Docker socket can bind-mount the workspace by the job's own path, as on a host, for example `docker run -v "$PWD:/src"`. Without the Docker proxy, for example with a remote `DOCKER_HOST`, use `GITEA_DOCKER_WORKSPACE`, the path the daemon sees, as the prefix of workspace binds, with `.` as the fallback for local use:

+
+Linux container jobs use a Docker proxy when socket sharing and permissions allow it. Other setups use the daemon socket directly. The proxy removes containers, networks and volumes after post steps and the completed hook. Named volumes created through it are job-scoped. To retain resources, mount the daemon socket explicitly in `container.options`. Host jobs use their existing Docker access, where `.` works.

 #### Caching (`actions/cache`)
 
-Each runner starts its own cache server automatically. Cache entries are local to that runner — runners do not share a cache by default.
+Each runner starts its own cache server, so runners do not share cached entries. A runner in a container on the jobs' Docker daemon attaches itself to each job network, so jobs reach its cache without extra setup.
 
-**Cache service v2**
+**Sharing a cache between runners**
 
-`actions/cache@v4.2` and later can use the *cache service v2* API. The runner serves it from the same store as v1, on by default, and it works with `external_server`. Turn it off with:
+Run one `gitea-runner cache-server` and point every runner at it, using the same secret everywhere, for example from `openssl rand -hex 32`:
+
+```yaml
+# cache-server.yaml
+cache:
+  dir: /data/actcache
+  port: 8088
+  external_secret: "<secret>" # or external_secret_file: /path/to/secret
+```
+
+```bash
+gitea-runner -c cache-server.yaml cache-server
+```
+
+```yaml
+# each runner's config
+cache:
+  external_server: "http://<cache-server-host>:8088/"
+  external_secret: "<secret>"
+```
+
+`--dir`, `--host` and `--port` override the matching `cache` keys. Eviction settings take effect on the cache server, not on the runners.
+
+Runners can also share one `cache.dir` on a file system with working file locks, at the cost of slower cache requests.
+
+**Storing the cache in an S3-compatible bucket**
+
+The cache can also be stored in an S3-compatible bucket such as AWS S3, MinIO or RustFS, with no cache server. Runners with the same settings use the same cache:
 
 ```yaml
 cache:
-  v2: false
+  s3:
+    endpoint: "http://minio:9000"
+    region: "us-east-1"
+    bucket: "runner-cache"
+    prefix: "gitea-runner-cache"
+    path_style: true
+    access_key_file: "/run/secrets/cache-s3-access-key"
+    secret_key_file: "/run/secrets/cache-s3-secret-key"
 ```
 
-Those actions refuse any host they do not take for GitHub. Rather than misreport the server URL, the runner edits that check out of the action's own bundle and keeps the untouched copy beside it; a bundle it does not recognise is left alone and keeps to v1. The same edit lets the stock `actions/upload-artifact` and `actions/download-artifact` work from `v4.4.0` on, without the `gitea-upload-artifact` fork.
+A cache saved on one runner can be restored on the others within 30 seconds. The eviction settings below do not apply to the bucket, so add lifecycle rules to it that expire old caches and abort incomplete multipart uploads.
 
-**Shared cache across multiple runners**
+**Eviction**
 
-Run one dedicated `gitea-runner cache-server` that all runners point at.
+Entries not read or written within `retention` (default `168h`) are removed. A repository over `repo_size_limit` (default `10GB`) loses its least recently used entries, and `size_limit` (off by default) caps the whole cache the same way. Entries in use are never removed. The cache also keeps 1024 MiB free on its volume, or `health_check.min_free_disk_space_mb` when health checks are enabled. See [config.example.yaml](internal/pkg/config/config.example.yaml) for all options.
 
-1. Create a config file for the cache server host:
+**Cache service v2**
 
-   ```yaml
-   cache:
-     dir: /data/actcache
-     port: 8088
-     external_secret: "replace-with-a-strong-random-secret"
-     # external_secret_file: /path/to/secret # secret can also be passed via a file
-   ```
+`actions/cache` v3.4.0, v4.2.0 and later use the cache service v2 API, which the runner serves by default. These actions fall back to v1 on hosts they do not recognize as GitHub, so the runner removes that check from them while a job runs. This also lets the stock `actions/upload-artifact` v4.4.0 and `actions/download-artifact` v4.1.8 and later work without the `gitea-upload-artifact` fork. With `runner.patch_actions: false`, the cache stays on v1 and the artifact actions fail.
 
-2. Start the server:
-
-   ```bash
-   gitea-runner -c cache-server-config.yaml cache-server
-   ```
-
-3. On every runner:
-
-   ```yaml
-   cache:
-     external_server: "http://<cache-server-host>:8088/"
-     external_secret: "replace-with-a-strong-random-secret"  # must match the server
-     # external_secret_file: /path/to/secret # secret can also be passed via a file
-   ```
-
-Alternatively, mount the same NFS/CIFS share on every runner and point `cache.dir` at it — simpler, but with weaker isolation between repositories.
-
-**S3 / MinIO** — mount object storage as a FUSE filesystem (e.g. [s3fs](https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse) or [goofys](https://github.com/kahing/goofys)) and set `cache.dir` to the mount point.
-
-Flags `--dir`, `--host`, and `--port` on `cache-server` override the corresponding `cache.*` YAML keys; all other settings, including `external_secret`, require the config file.
+With v2, artifact calls also go through the cache server, so jobs must be able to reach it. `cache.v2: false` sends them to Gitea directly, unless the Gitea URL has a path or `runner.insecure` is set with HTTPS.

+Set `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` in the runner's environment to send a trace of every job to an OpenTelemetry collector. See **[docs/telemetry.md](docs/telemetry.md)**.
+
+#### Local job logs (`log.job.dir`)
+
+Set `log.job.dir` to a path and the runner writes a copy of every task's log there as `<start time>-task-<id>.log`: the rows exactly as Gitea received them, with the same secrets masked and the job's result on the last line. Off by default, and what Gitea shows does not change.
+
+#### Secret masking
+
+A job's secrets and its `::add-mask::` values are hidden from what the runner writes and uploads: the job log, the local copy above, job summaries, and the names of the containers it creates. A job output carrying one is skipped with a warning rather than sent masked, as GitHub does, so a downstream `needs.<job>.outputs.<name>` reading it is empty.
+
+`log.job.retention` (default `168h`) is how long a log is kept, expired ones being deleted as new tasks start, and `log.job.max_size` (default `1GB`) caps one log. Keep `retention` above `runner.timeout` so a long job cannot outlive its own log, and prefer local disk, the file is written while the job runs. Only the runner's own user can read it.
