Gitea Actions testing ground

This repository is a testing ground for several Gitea Actions used within the Phyllome OS project.

Gitea Actions closely resemble GitHub Actions, to the point that several GitHub Actions can be used in Gitea Actions workflows without modification.

How to test actions locally

  • Clone this repository locally

  • Download the latest version of the act runner for your architecture here

    • For instance, if your computer is running Linux with an amd64 processor: act_runner-0.2.12-linux-amd64
curl https://dl.gitea.com/act_runner/0.2.12/act_runner-0.2.12-linux-amd64 --output act_runner

  • Add execute permission
chmod +x act_runner
  • Run the act runner using the exec argument and specify the workflow file to be used:
./act_runner exec --workflows workflows/checkout.yml

  • If you wish to run the action locally with a self-hosted runner that runs directly on the host, use the following instead:
./act_runner exec --workflows workflows/checkout.yml  -i -self-hosted

How workflows are used in Phyllome OS

Several known actions repositories are mirrored within Phyllome's Gitea instance, under the actions organization.
