This is a CloudLab profile designed to allocate a small cluster, initialize passwordless ssh between all of the nodes, and then start a Github CI Runner on one of the nodes to accept enqueued work from Github actions.

It builds on Leigh's example repository-based CloudLab profile.

This repository can be (and is) configured with a Webhook to automatically push changes to this profile to the corresponding profile on CloudLab.

Configuration

The code that establishes the runner is fairly generic and should work for any project that wants to accept work from Github CI Actions. setup-github-ci-runner.sh needs to pointed at the repo for which the runner should accept actions. It must also be pointed at a file that contains the registration token string that Github provides when the action is created on the Github project.

After that, jobs/actions can be specified in Github and an instance of this profile should pick up any enqueued actions and perform them.
