soci-installer GitHub Action

This Action installs the SOCI binary during a GitHub Actions run.

Usage

This action currently supports GitHub-provided Linux, runners (self-hosted runners may or may not work). MacOS and Windows binaries are currently not build, therfore this action can not install those.

Add the following entry to your Github workflow YAML file:

uses: lerentis/[email protected]
with:
  soci-release: 'v0.4.0' # optional

Example using a pinned version:

jobs:
  example:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    permissions: {}

    name: Install soci
    steps:
      - name: Install soci
        uses: lerentis/[email protected]
        with:
          soci-release: 'v0.4.0'
      - name: Check install!
        run: soci --version

Example using the default version:

jobs:
  example:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    permissions: {}

    name: Install soci
    steps:
      - name: Install soci
        uses: lerentis/[email protected]
      - name: Check install!
        run: soci --version

This action does not need any GitHub permission to run, however, if your workflow needs to update, create or perform any action against your repository, then you should change the scope of the permission appropriately.

For example, if you are using the gcr.io as your registry to push the images you will need to give the write permission to the packages scope.

Example of a simple workflow:

jobs:
  build-image:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    permissions:
      contents: read
      packages: write

    name: build-image
    steps:
      - uses: actions/[email protected]
        with:
          fetch-depth: 1
