Actions

This repository is a suite of reusable Tinkerbell Actions that are used to compose Tinkerbell Workflows.

Name Description
archive2disk Write archives to a block device
cexec chroot and execute binaries
grub2disk Write grub configs to a block device
image2disk Write images to a block device
kexec kexec to a Linux Kernel
oci2disk Stream OCI compliant images from a registry and write to a block device
qemuimg2disk Stream images and write to a block device
rootio Manage disks (partition, format etc)
slurp Stream a block device to a remote server
syslinux Install the syslinux bootloader to a block device
writefile Write a file to a file system on a block device

Releases

Actions are released on a per revision basis. With each PR merged, all Actions are built and pushed to quay.io tagged with the Git revision. The latest tag is updated to point to the new image.

We try not to make changes that would break Actions, but we do not provide a backward compatibility guarantee. We recommend using the static Git revision tag for most deployments.

Our release process may provide stronger compatibility guarantees in the future.

Community Actions

Actions are one of the best parts of Tinkerbell. These reusable building blocks allow us to evolve the way we provision and interact with machines. And sharing Actions is a great way to participate in this evolution. The Actions below are built and maintained by community members, like you! To add your own Action to the list, raise a PR. If you find an Action that's no longer maintained, please raise an issue or PR to have it removed.

A couple recommendations for making your Action as community friendly as possible:

  • Host your Action in a container registry that's publicly accessible. Here's an example Github Action that builds and pushes an image to ghcr.io.
  • Include a README with usage instructions and examples.

Actions List

  • waitdaemon - Run an Action that always reports successful. Useful for reboot, poweroff, or kexec Actions.
