How to use GitHub Actions with your Orka environment. MacStadium provides 2 approaches to integrating with GitHub Action
  1. A dynamic ephemeral runner which automatically scales the number of runners based on the demand, ensuring optimal resource utilization.
  2. Static runners which run in a long lived VMs that GitHub Actions will use as needed
Our team recommends using the dynamic ephemeral runners.
IMPORTANT It is recommended that Orka 3.1.x users run the most recent release version to obtain the latest features and improvements to the plugin.

​
Set up the dynamic ephemeral runner

​
Set up the static runners

You can work with single or multiple self-hosted runners. Every single self-hosted runner is a permanent agent for your workflows - it persists over time and GitHub Actions uses it when you need to run a workflow.
