Run-On-Arch Github Action

A Github Action that executes commands on an alternative architecture (amd64, i386, arm64, armv7, s390x, ppc64le).

Usage

This action requires three input parameters:

• architecture: The cpu architecture of the container that will run your commands;
• distribution: The Linux distribution the will be launched by the container (right now, Debian stretch and buster);
• run: A series of commands that will be executed.

The action does not define any default output variable, feel free to create as many as you want and set them in the run block.

Basic example

This basic example executes uname -a and then does it again to save the value in a variable:

on: [push]

jobs:
  armv7_job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
    name: Build on ARMv7 
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1.0.0
      - uses: baetyl/run-on-arch-action@master
        id: runcmd
        with:
          architecture: armv7
          distribution: buster
          run: |
            uname -a
            echo ::set-output name=uname::$(uname -a)
      - name: Get the output
        run: |
            echo "The uname output was ${{ steps.runcmd.outputs.uname }}"

Supported Platforms

This table contains a list of possible Architecture/Distribution combinations:

Using an invalid combination will result in a crash but new configuration can be easily added if a working docker image is available.
