Designing containers for GitHub actions

• alpine-raku

  1 24 3.6 Dockerfile

  A docker container with Raku using the minimalist distro Alpine

Through the creation of this container, and multiple questions in the GitHub community, I've kinda discovered what are the things needed for containers to be used seamlessly in workflows. Here're the tips:

• starter-workflows

  262 8,449 8.6 TypeScript

  Accelerating new GitHub Actions workflows

  

GitHub actions are workflows triggered by GitHub events. They are quite flexible, they run by default in "bare" operating system runners, but, additionally, they can be hosted in user-provided containers. The problem is, GitHub expect these containers to have certain services and structure, which is a problem is you use a standard or plain container.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• docker-raku

  1 3 4.0 Dockerfile

  Tests and experiments for new Raku docker containers

While the first user you will create in any Linux system will have UID equal to 1000, GHAs are a bit special and they use UID 1001. So you'd better use that UID for your user, as is done in this Raku container

• typescript-action

  29 1,777 9.2 TypeScript

  Create a TypeScript Action with tests, linting, workflow, publishing, and versioning

  

See it in action here. Once the container is GHA-ready, you can run (at least these) Github actions in your workflow as easily as if you were running the default base runner.

  Cache dependencies and build outputs in GitHub Actions

  

Alpine is an amazing little distro for containers, but part of its appeal comes from the fact that it puts a lot of external utilities into BusyBox, and that includes tar. However, in an apparently undocumented move, the caching GHA uses BSD or GNU tar for storing and restoring artifacts. That means it's needed in your container. Check above:
