Action Summary
This GitHub Action automates running CI builds on OpenIndiana by leveraging AnyVM.org’s infrastructure. It supports multiple releases and arches, including x86_64 and aarch64. The action allows users to define custom environments and commands to run within the VM, simplifying the process of setting up CI pipelines for projects that require specific OS configurations.
What’s Changed
sync: tar
A new way to share the workspace: the tree is streamed in as a ustar archive over the ssh connection the action already opens, and streamed back the same way when the run finishes. Nothing is installed in the guest and no filesystem support is needed on either side, unlike sshfs and nfs. openindiana-builder v2.1.2 declares it for every release, and it was verified on this guest before the declaration went in: 300 files plus a 1 MB binary blob pushed, a file written inside the VM, the whole tree pulled back and compared by content hash.
rsync remains the default.
Under the hood
openindiana-builder v2.1.2 is also the first openindiana build to publish releases.json, the machine-readable index this action bakes its configuration from – which is why the pre-tar method list survived until now.
The runtime moves to anyvm v0.6.5, twelve releases on from the v0.5.3 that v1.1.5 shipped. Two of its fixes reach every job: a failed folder sync is now fatal instead of a warning that left the guest running without the files it was about to use, and the workspace push no longer carries the runner’s own harness directories into the guest.
