This project manages ephemeral GitHub runners for specific repositories. If you want to add a new repository, then copy and edit this file.
To make sure this workflow gets executed as soon as possible you can copy and adapt this workflow
into the target repository. Normally, the workflow queue checks are scheduled each 5 minutes on this repository but that
behaviour is highly inconsistent. Hence, it's better to copy the github-ops workflow into the target repository instead.
This needs an additional github personal access token with the public repo scope only (classic github token).
Edit any workflows of the target repository and add this line to request a self hosted runner with the aws instance type of your liking. Note: The first two parts must not be omitted, the third one can be choosen.
runs-on: ["${{github.run_id}}", self-hosted, r6a.48xlarge]
The run.sh script basically checks:
- for any queued workflows on the target repository.
- creates a new instance with this cloud-init script for each unique workflow run.
- terminates any stuck instances if the workflow concluded - just in case if the instances don't poweroff normally.
