  Repository for building a self hosted GitHub runner as a windows container

Open VSCode, you can clone the repo found on my GitHub project docker-github-runner-windows which contains all the files or simply follow along with the following steps. We will prepare a few PowerShell scripts that will be needed as part of our docker image creation.
