Use this action to run your CI in Solaris.
The github workflow only supports Ubuntu, Windows and MacOS. But what if you need to use Solaris?
This action is to support Solaris.
Sample workflow test.yml
:
name: Test
on: [push]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: A job to run test in Solaris
env:
MYTOKEN : ${{ secrets.MYTOKEN }}
MYTOKEN2: "value2"
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Test in Solaris
id: test
uses: vmactions/solaris-vm@v1
with:
envs: 'MYTOKEN MYTOKEN2'
usesh: true
prepare: |
pkgutil -y -i socat
run: |
if [ -n "test" ]; then
echo "false"
fi
if [ "test" ]; then
echo "test"
fi
pwd
ls -lah
whoami
env
psrinfo -vp
cat /etc/release
psrinfo -v
echo "::memstat" | mdb -k
echo "OK"
The latest major version is: v1
, which is the most recommended to use. (You can also use the latest full version: v1.0.2
)
If you are migrating from the previous v0
, please change the runs-on:
to runs-on: ubuntu-latest
The envs: 'MYTOKEN MYTOKEN2'
is the env names that you want to pass into the vm.
The run: xxxxx
is the command you want to run in the vm.
The env variables are all copied into the VM, and the source code and directory are all synchronized into the VM.
The working dir for run
in the VM is the same as in the Host machine.
All the source code tree in the Host machine are mounted into the VM.
All the GITHUB_*
as well as CI=true
env variables are passed into the VM.
So, you will have the same directory and same default env variables when you run
the CI script.
The code is shared from the host to the VM via rsync
by default, you can choose to use to sshfs
share code instead.
...
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Test
id: test
uses: vmactions/solaris-vm@v1
with:
envs: 'MYTOKEN MYTOKEN2'
usesh: true
sync: sshfs
prepare: |
pkgutil -y -i socat
...
You can also set sync: no
, so the files will not be synced to the VM.
When using rsync
, you can define copyback: false
to not copy files back from the VM in to the host.
...
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Test
id: test
uses: vmactions/solaris-vm@v1
with:
envs: 'MYTOKEN MYTOKEN2'
usesh: true
sync: rsync
copyback: false
prepare: |
pkgutil -y -i socat
...
You can add NAT port between the host and the VM.
...
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Test
id: test
uses: vmactions/solaris-vm@v1
with:
envs: 'MYTOKEN MYTOKEN2'
usesh: true
nat: |
"8080": "80"
"8443": "443"
udp:"8081": "80"
...
The default memory of the VM is 6144MB, you can use mem
option to set the memory size:
...
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Test
id: test
uses: vmactions/solaris-vm@v1
with:
envs: 'MYTOKEN MYTOKEN2'
usesh: true
mem: 4096
...
It uses the Solaris 11.4 by default, you can use release
option to use another version of Solaris:
...
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Test
id: test
uses: vmactions/solaris-vm@v1
with:
release: "11.4-gcc"
...
All the supported releases are here: Solaris 11.4-gcc, 11.4, test.releases See all here
We use Qemu and Libvirt to run the Solaris VM.
