Woodie thinks there are over 100K agents

[strk]

According to ​https://woodie.osgeo.org/admin/settings#agents there is an indefinite number of agents, with scrolling down exposing more and more.

When visiting ​https://woodie.osgeo.org/admin/settings#queue I see agents numbered with identifiers such as 116330 which seems hardly the reality.

I've asked in the Woodpecker CI Matrix room and was asked if we are using WOODPECKER_AGENT_CONFIG_FILE but I cannot answer that by only looking at ansible-deployment (which does have a role but not much within it)

Sounds like known upstream: ​https://github.com/woodpecker-ci/woodpecker/issues/2027

Possibly helpful: ​https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/administration/agent-config#agent-registration

Hmm okay this could be because we don't have a folder config token file set up for the agents. I do see the error once in a while about it not being able to find it's config file.

okay I purged all the agents using the CI and reregistered the agents we have this time making sure they have a /etc/woodpecker folder and that an agent.conf is created when they launched.

I think the issue might have been the file didn't exist and couldn't be created cause the folder path did not exist, so they kept on getting new ids.

I also in the agents screen, set the name, cause it was given hash ids for names for each of the agents for some reason - ​https://woodie.osgeo.org/admin#agents

I still can't see the name exposed on the runs, but at least on the queue page when an agent is running ​https://woodie.osgeo.org/admin#queue you'll see the repo it's running and it's number, which you can easily reconcile to the server, cause I added the number to the name on the agents tab.
