Get Started¶

Configuring GitHub App¶

In order to utilize PWRCI runners, you'll need to install our GitHub App using this link.

Configuring Runners¶

To use PWRCI runners in your GitHub Actions workflows, you can specify the desired image and architecture with the runs-on property:

Linux ppc64le

name: CI
jobs:
  test:
    name: "Run on native POWER architecture"
    runs-on: ghcr.io/pwrci/debian-runner-ppc64le:13-sm
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v7
      - name: Verify Architecture
        run: uname -m  # Expected: ppc64le

Available Runner Images¶

For Linux runners, we utilize standard Debian images. This ensures fast startup times and a predictable execution environment.

Available Runner Resource Classes¶

By default, a single PWRCI runner uses Small resources. Depending on your subscription tier, you can target larger resource classes by appending the corresponding suffix to your image tag.

Linux ppc64le

Resource Class	Suffix	CPUs	Memory	Disk	Required Tier
Small	`:13-sm` (default)	2	4 GB	50 GB	Tier 1 or Tier 2
Medium	`:13-md`	4	8 GB	50 GB	Tier 2 Only

Runner Execution Environments¶

PWRCI runners utilize ephemeral virtual machines for each workflow. Powered by LXD virtual machines, they deliver full isolation, fast startup times, and an environment you have full control over.
