Thank you for submitting this issue - we are ready to onboard this project now.

Please install the GitHub App from the following link and select your repository:
🔗 Power Z GHA Runner App

For more details on the onboarding process, please refer to our documentation:
📄 Onboarding Guide

Please let me know in this issue once you have installed the github app on your repo. For security reasons, I will double check it is the correct repo and then approve the repo to use our images. You will not be able to use our images until I approve the repo.

After the repo has been approved, you will be able to use the ubuntu-24.04-ppc64le image in the workflow file and all good to go :) The onboarding doc linked above will be helpful.

Please note: forks will not be able to use this service since those repos will not be in our allow list.

If there is any questions or concerns, we can discuss those here.

@mtarsel I've talked to the Qiskit-community admin and received the approval. It seems the system is already been updated. Would you please approve our project (https://github.com/qiskit-community/spank-plugins) ?

[mtarsel]

approved! you can use our images in your workflow file. I'll keep this issue open for another week or 2 if there is more questions about onboarding

@mtarsel
What would be the next step? It seems I would need to have a runner token (https://github.com/apps/power-z-gha-runner) , but I'm unsure where I can find it. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.

BTW, I'm NOT the admin of either qrmi or spank-plugin so my test would be a bit limited. It would be great if you can guide me from my perspective. Of course, I can ask Admin to set up the runner.
