Authenticating using Certificate Authentication

    steps:
      - uses: veertuinc/anka-actions-down@v1
        with:
          controller-url: 'https://controller.mysite.com'

Authenticating using RTA (Root Token Auth)

We do not recommend this as it exposes your root token. The root token has access to absolutely everything permissions-wise.

    steps:
      - uses: veertuinc/anka-actions-down@v1
        with:
          controller-url: 'https://controller.mysite.com'
          controller-root-token: ${{ secrets.ROOT_TOKEN }}

Job TTL

The maximum seconds a job can run. If this TTL is reached it will stop and be marked as failed. It can be disabled with 0. If not set, it will default to 5 minutes (300 seconds).

    steps:
      - uses: veertuinc/anka-actions-down@v1
        with:
          controller-url: 'https://controller.mysite.com'
          job-ttl: 300

Controller HTTP Poll Delay

This is a interval between requests to your Anka Build Cloud Controller's REST API. It can be disabled with 0. If not set, it will default to 5 minutes (300 seconds).

    steps:
      - uses: veertuinc/anka-actions-down@v1
        with:
          . . .
          controller-http-poll-delay: 5

Using with Github Enterprise Server

When using with GitHub Enterprise Server, set gh-base-url to the root URL of the API. For example, if your GitHub Enterprise Server's hostname is github.acme-inc.com, then set gh-base-url to https://github.acme-inc.com/api/v3

    steps:
      - uses: veertuinc/anka-actions-down@v1
        with:
          . . .
          gh-base-url: 'https://github.acme-inc.com/api/v3'
