Find a way to run Kodi in github actions #55

Open jonisb opened 3 years ago

Kodi can't run in github actions VM probably due to missing GPU support.

Hi @jonisb I am the creator of Cirun.io, "GPU support" caught my eye.

FWIW I'll share my two cents. I created a service for problems like these, which is basically running custom machines (including GPUs) in GitHub Actions: https://cirun.io/

It is used in multiple open source projects needing GPU support like the following:

It is fairly simple to setup, all you need is a cloud account (AWS or GCP) and a simple yaml file describing what kind of machines you need and Cirun will spin up ephemeral machines on your cloud for GitHub Actions to run. It's native to GitHub ecosystem, which mean you can see logs/trigger in the Github's interface itself, just like any Github Action run.

Also, note that Cirun is free for Open source projects. (You only pay to your cloud provider for machine usage)

Interesting, but I'm not interested in paying for a server/service to solve this at the moment as it's just a slow moving hobby for me. But I'll keep it in mind if stuff changes.

Sure, Cirun is free for open source, btw.
