| 1 | +# Running Your First Build |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +After installing and configuring Fireactions, verify your setup by running a test workflow. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Verify Runners Are Registered |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Check your GitHub organization's Actions settings to confirm runners are registered: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +1. Navigate to your GitHub organization settings |
| 10 | +2. Go to **Actions** → **Runners** |
| 11 | +3. Verify that runners are listed as **Idle** and ready to receive jobs |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +If runners aren't appearing, check the Fireactions logs: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +```bash |
| 16 | +sudo journalctl -u fireactions -f |
| 17 | +``` |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Create a Test Workflow |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Create a simple workflow to test your Fireactions setup. In your repository, create `.github/workflows/test-fireactions.yml`: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +```yaml |
| 24 | +name: Test Fireactions |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +on: |
| 27 | + workflow_dispatch: |
| 28 | + push: |
| 29 | + branches: |
| 30 | + - main |
| 31 | + pull_request: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +jobs: |
| 34 | + test: |
| 35 | + name: Test Runner |
| 36 | + runs-on: fireactions-example # Replace with your pool label |
| 37 | + steps: |
| 38 | + - name: Check runner environment |
| 39 | + run: | |
| 40 | + echo "Runner is working!" |
| 41 | + uname -a |
| 42 | + docker --version |
| 43 | +``` |
| 44 | +
|
| 45 | +**Important:** Replace `fireactions-example` with the label from your [pool configuration](../reference/configuration.md). |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## Run the Workflow |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Trigger the workflow using one of these methods: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- **Manual trigger:** Go to Actions tab → Select workflow → Click "Run workflow" |
| 52 | +- **Push to main:** Commit and push changes to the main branch |
| 53 | +- **Pull request:** Open a pull request |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +## Verify Execution |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Watch the workflow run in GitHub Actions: |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +1. Go to the **Actions** tab in your repository |
| 60 | +2. Click on the workflow run |
| 61 | +3. Verify the job completes successfully |
| 62 | +4. Check that it ran on a Fireactions runner |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## Expected Behavior |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +When the workflow runs: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +1. Fireactions creates a new Firecracker microVM |
| 69 | +2. The GitHub runner inside the VM picks up the job |
| 70 | +3. Job executes in the isolated environment |
| 71 | +4. VM is destroyed after job completion |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +You should see the workflow complete in ~20-30 seconds from trigger to finish. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +If the workflow doesn't run or fails: |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +- Verify pool labels match between configuration and workflow |
| 80 | +- Check Fireactions logs for errors |
| 81 | +- Ensure sufficient system resources (CPU, memory, disk) |
| 82 | +- See the [Troubleshooting Guide](../help/troubleshooting.md) for common issues |
