I am fairly new to GitHub workflow/actions and tasked with getting a list of our current runners matching runners. I am across this statement looking at an existing workflow.
runs-on: ["self-hosted", "management-control-plane", "${{ needs.env.outputs.env }}"]
So it looks like its saying 'find one our existing VM with specified tag 'management-control-plane' in the specified environment. So, Github as a list of these somewhere that its referencing.
Question: How can I query the list of VMs using a tag and environment? Thank you!
You can use the REST API to list all runners for your organisation or repository.
Here's a sample from the docs:
curl \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
https://api.github.com/orgs/ORG/actions/runners
{
"total_count": 2,
"runners": [
{
"id": 23,
"name": "linux_runner",
"os": "linux",
"status": "online",
"busy": true,
"labels": [
{
"id": 5,
"name": "self-hosted",
"type": "read-only"
},
{
"id": 7,
// etc...
