What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners/configuring-the-self-hosted-runner-application-as-a-service#installing-the-service

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

There should be some reference to the proper SELinux context when enabling the runners on systemd-enabled distributions.

In "Step 6: Start the runner" of this article it mentions a minimal context for runsvc.sh. I needed to "chcon -R system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 " for the runner to start via systemd scripts.
