Run AnyBody on GitHub actions

This actions enables simulations with the console version of the AnyBody Modeling System as part of a GitHub action flow. Behind the scenes the simualtion runs in a linux docker image with AnyBody preinstalled.

Note: A valid license is necessary for this action to work. I.e. you must provide a floating license server where the action can obtain a license while it is running.

Currently the action uses version 7.4.4 of the AnyBody Modeling System available as a linux docker container.

run

Required The commands start the anybody simulation. For example launching anybody directly anybodycon -m macro.anymcr or maybe a python script which runs your simualtion: python my-simulation.py

license_server

Required the ip/url of the AnyBody license server.

license_server_pass

Required The password for accessing the license server. Use the github action system for encrypted secrets (e.g. ${{ secrets.server_password }})

license_server_port

Optional The port where the license server is hosted. Defaults to 5053.

shell

Optional The shell used to execute the run script. Defaults to /bin/bash.

Outputs

Example usage

uses: anybody/[email protected]
with:
  license_server: license-server.com
  license_server_password: ${{ secrets.server_password }}
  run: 
    anybodycon -m macro.anymcr

Alternatives:

An alternative to this action is to just specify the following in the job workflow:

container: ghcr.io/anybody/anybodycon-linux:latest

But that will run the all job steps in the docker image and prevent the use of other docker-based actions.
