Old Container Images unmaintained?

[Punamu]

First of all, thank you @mumoshu for your work on the old ARC controller.

I am one of the many users of the old ARC controller since we rely on labels on our local GHES deployment.

The relevant discussion has not seen anything but doubling down on a single label solution. At least give the user the option to choose if we want multiple labels or not. #3340

Now to my question, especially, are the old images still maintained since they have not seen actions runner updates or rebuilds in a long time.

Relevant container images:

• ghcr.io/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-dind-rootless:ubuntu-22.04 (updated 10 months ago)
• ghcr.io/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller (v0.27.6; updated 1 year ago)

I am thinking of the following updates on a regular basis:

• actions-runner-dind-rootless
  • updated actions runner inside the image
  • update to ubuntu 24.04
• actions-runner-controller
  • dependency updates and rebuilds using the latest go versions (bug and security fixes)

Hi,

its been a few weeks and sadly @mumoshu did not respond yet.

@lokesh755 @Link- @TingluoHuang

Sorry to mention you directly but I was hoping you could help me with my questions above?

Looking through the latest community tagged issues it looks like there is no official maintainer:
https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Acommunity

To quote from the announcement: #2775

Will continue to be maintained by the community only led by @mumoshu. GitHub will not provide any maintenance or support for these assets.

How is the status on community maintenance?

+1 we are seeing couple of go/stdlib and go/crypto vulnerability complains, which should've fixed if we can upgrade to use go 1.23+ version. Would be really appreciated.
