Hello community,
We wanted to share some of our hard-earned experience in automating Jetson Nano workflows using GitHub self-hosted runners. If you want to run smoke tests, packaging or build Docker images natively on the Jetson Nano you might find the article interesting.
Hope this help.
Thanks for posting @sdobrev, that’s quite useful!
If I wanted to use this for CI/CD and automatically trigger self-hosted container builds/tests when commits are made to a repo, would I just install the actions-runner-linux-arm64 package directly on my Jetson(s) (outside of container) so that it could launch docker build/run/push operations?
Or is your runner container image capable of executing arbitrary actions from GitHub, including docker-in-docker?
(moving this to the Jetson Projects forum for longer-term visibility)
Hey Dusty,
If you want to run the runner natively (not in a Docker) you have to download the actions-runner-linux-arm64-* archive, extract it and run the ./config.sh script. In the blog post those are the last two lines of the example Dockerfile.
More information can be found on the GitHub’s docs about self-hosted runners.
