## Flakes Action
This action can be retrieved at: `code.252.no/tommy/flakes-action:latest`.
This container is a little special since it provides a Nix flake designed to generate a docker image to use with
[Forgejo runners](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner). It packages essential tools and helper programs to streamline
the code.252.no CI/CD workflows.
We try to reproduce much-used GitHub actions into one package to avoid calling an excessive amount of images in Forgejo workflows.
### Supported use cases
* Flux CI/CD testing
* Forgejo comments: post comments to issues
* Run commands ad-hoc with `nix run`
### Docker Image Info
`code.252.no/tommy/flakes-action:latest` includes:
- **Nix Environment**: Pre-configured with Nix and essential configurations.
- **Helper Programs**: Bundles `flux-local`, `flux-diff`, and `forgejo-comment`.
- **Essential Build Tools**: Includes utilities like `git`, `docker`, `bash`, `curl`, `jq`, and more.
### Flake Content
- **Apps**: Accessible via `nix run` or `nix shell` commands.
- **Packages**: Builds a Docker image named `flakes-action` with necessary tools.
### Helper Programs
The flake provides the following applications:
| Application | Description | External Ref |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `git-sv` | Semantic versioning tool for git based on conventional commits. | [tommy/git-sv](https://code.252.no/tommy/git-sv)
| `flux-local` | Tool for performing local Flux operations and diffs. | [allenporter/flux-local](https://github.com/allenporter/flux-local) |
| `flux-diff` | Utility to diff Flux resources locally. | [buroa/k8s-gitops](https://github.com/buroa/k8s-gitops/blob/master/.github/workflows/flux-diff.yaml)
| `forgejo-comment` | Script to post comments on Forgejo merge requests. | -
Other standard packages are provided from nixpkgs. For an up-to-date list have a look at `flakes-action` in
[flake.nix](./flake.nix).
### Usage
#### Building
We provide an example taskfile in `task docker:build-flakesaction` which is used for manual builds on code.252.no. The task uses
`nerdctl`, but you may replace this with `docker` or `podman`.
```bash
nix build .#packages.x86_64-linux.flakes-action # build image
nerdctl load < result # loads nix build result (tar archive)
nerdctl push code.252.no/tommy/flakes-action:latest # push to registry
```
#### In Runner
We provide examples for use in Kubernetes, but the image may be used with the act runner locally as well.
To use the Docker image in your Forgejo runner add it to your Helm values (this uses the `bjw-s` `app-template`):
```yaml
[...]

controllers:
forgejo-runner-elkworks:
