    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    name: ${{ matrix.target[0] }}-${{ matrix.target[1] }} build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        version: [21.02.5, 22.03.5]
        arch:
          - x86_64
          - mips_24kc
        include:
          - arch: x86_64
            target: ['x86', '64']
          - arch: mips_24kc
            target: ['ath79', 'nand']
            profile: netgear_wndr4300

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Determine branch name
        env:
          VERSION: ${{ matrix.version }}
        run: |
          echo "VERSION=$VERSION" >> $GITHUB_ENV
          BRANCH="${VERSION%.*}"
          echo "Building for $BRANCH"
          echo "BRANCH=$BRANCH" >> $GITHUB_ENV

      - name: Generate full target name
        env:
          TARGET: ${{ format('{0}-{1}', matrix.target[0], matrix.target[1]) }}
        run: |
          echo "Full target name is $TARGET"
          echo "TARGET=$TARGET" >> $GITHUB_ENV

      - name: Build
        uses: muink/gh-action-imagebuilder@master
        env:
          ARCH: ${{ env.TARGET }}-${{ env.VERSION }}
          PROFILE: ${{ matrix.profile}}
          REPO_DIR: ${{ github.workspace }}/releases/packages-${{ env.BRANCH }}/${{ matrix.arch }}/luci
          PACKAGES: bash natmapt

      - name: Store images
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: ${{ env.TARGET }}-${{ matrix.profile }}-images
          path: bin/targets/${{ matrix.target[0] }}/${{ matrix.target[1] }}/

Environmental variables

The action reads a few env variables:

• ARCH determines the used OpenWrt ImageBuilder Docker container.
• ARTIFACTS_DIR determines where built images are saved. Defaults to the default working directory (GITHUB_WORKSPACE).
• CONTAINER can set other ImageBuilder containers than openwrt/imagebuilder.
• EXTRA_REPOS are added to the repositories.conf, where | are replaced by white spaces.
• NO_DEFAULT_REPOS disable adding the default ImageBuilder repos
• NO_LOCAL_REPOS disable adding the default working directory as repo
• REPO_DIR used to add current repo to repositories.conf. Defaults to the default working directory (GITHUB_WORKSPACE).
• KEY_BUILD can be a private Signify/usign key to sign the images.
• KEY_BUILD_PUB the paired public key of the above private key.
• KEY_VERIFY public keys for usign used to verify repos. Format is '<key1 string>' '<key2 string>' '<key3 string>'. key string must be preprocessed into base64 str
• NO_SIGNATURE_CHECK not check packages signature. If your repos is not signed by usign, please enable this.
• DISABLED_SERVICES which services in /etc/init.d/ should be disabled
• PROFILE override the default target profile. List available via make info, Or query via https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/<version>/targets/<target>/<subtarget>/
• PACKAGES packages to be installed.
• ROOTFS_SIZE RootFS partition size (MByte)
