How do I set up a copy of ubicloud able to run GitHub actions?

[theoparis]

archlinux% docker logs ubicloud-db-migrator
rake aborted!
Sequel::DatabaseConnectionError: PG::ConnectionBad: connection to server at "postgres" (172.18.0.2), port 5432 failed: timeout expired (Sequel::DatabaseConnectionError)

Followed the exact steps here https://www.ubicloud.com/docs/quick-start/build-your-own-cloud. failed on docker compose up.

Edit: It works on a debian machine but the github actions integration isn't available and it requires a root user 😕

Hey @theoparis, thank you for getting in touch with us!

You need to configure GitHub Actions integration to use your own cloud setup. The requirements are complex.
I highly recommend using our hosted version for GitHub Actions integration 🚀 : https://www.ubicloud.com/use-cases/github-actions.
However, if you wish to use your own cloud, here is a summary of what you need to do:

1. You need to create a new GitHub app with following settings https://github.com/settings/apps/new

App Name: "YOUR_APP_NAME"
Homepage URL: DEPLOYMENT_URL
Callback URL: "DEPLOYMENT_URL/github/callback"
Enable "Request user authorization (OAuth) during installation"
Enable "Redirect on update"
Webhook URL: "DEPLOYMENT_URL/webhook/github"
Webhook secret: "ANY_STRING_YOU_WANT"
Repository permissions:
    Actions: Read and Write
    Administration: Read and Write
Organization permissions:
    Self-hosted runners: Read and Write
Subscribe to events: "Workflow job"
Select "Only on this account"
Create the app
Generate a new client secret on the app setting page and copy it
Generate a private key on the app setting page and download it

2. Set GitHub App details to required environment variables

  ENV["GITHUB_APP_NAME"] = "YOUR_APP_NAME"
  ENV["GITHUB_APP_ID"] = "YOUR_APP_ID"
  ENV["GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_ID"] = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID"
  ENV["GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_SECRET"] = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
  ENV["GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY"] = <<PRIVATE_KEY
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
PRIVATE_KEY
  ENV["GITHUB_APP_WEBHOOK_SECRET"] = "YOUR_SECRET"
  ENV["GITHUB_RUNNER_SERVICE_PROJECT_ID"] = "ANY_PROJECT_ID"

3. Build a golden image based on "https://github.com/ubicloud/runner-images" and download it to your Vm host.
4. Install the SPDK version that includes bdev_ubi.

# If you are setup you VM host for first time
st = Prog::Vm::HostNexus::assemble("SERVER_IP", location: "github-runners", provider: "hetzner", hetzner_server_identifier: "SERVER_ID", spdk_version: "v23.09-ubi-0.2")

# If you are using an existing VM host, setup new SPDK
vm_host.spdk_installations_dataset.update(allocation_weight: 0)
st = Prog::Storage::SetupSpdk.assemble(vm_host.id, "v23.09-ubi-0.2", start_service: true, allocation_weight: 100)
