GitHub Actions (Or other free CI) on a Raspberry Pi?

Open gergelytakacs opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Find out if a GitHub Actions runner/agent can be installed (for free) on a RaspberryPi. If not, determine if other free CI solutions can be installed on a RPi.

Rationale. A RPi runner could be connected to each and every AutomationShield device (even with several Arduino versions) to performe smoke testing on hardware!

DOD:

  • Determine if this is possible and if yes, which one.
  • Open a new ticket if yes, open a new ticket performing a single runner / pilot study.

@AnnaVargova This is also an idea for a bachelors/diploma thesis.

Here is the GitHub runner with some prerequisites. https://github.com/actions/runner

Hell, yes: this seems to be doable. So, a HW enabled local runner would be awesome!!!
