This action might work with [self-hosted runners](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/about-self-hosted-runners)
if the [virtual environment](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments) is very similar to the ones used by GitHub runners. Notably:
* Make sure to use the same operating system and version.
* Make sure to use the same version of libssl.
* Make sure that the operating system has `libyaml-0` installed
* The runner software is running as user `runner` with a home directory of `/home/runner`, or you have created a symlink for the home directory of whatever user that the runner is running as to `/home/runner`.
In other cases, please use a system Ruby or [compile your own Ruby](https://github.com/postmodern/chruby/wiki#installing-rubies) instead.
