The recommended way of using this build box is via the lite-xl-build-box Action. This action sets up the container environment correctly and runs a script in the container.

- name: Set up QEMU
  uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v3

- name: Build AppImages
  uses: lite-xl/lite-xl-build-box@v3
  with:
    run: |
      bash scripts/appimage.sh --debug --static --version ${INSTALL_REF} --release
      bash scripts/appimage.sh --debug --nobuild --addons --version ${INSTALL_REF}

- name: Build AppImages (aarch64)
  uses: lite-xl/lite-xl-build-box@v3
  with:
    platform: linux/arm64
    run: |
      bash scripts/appimage.sh --debug --static --version ${INSTALL_REF} --release
      bash scripts/appimage.sh --debug --nobuild --addons --version ${INSTALL_REF}

When using this container image in a step (with docker://), you can pass a script directly, similar to run by specifying entrypoint: /entrypoint.sh. For example:

- name: Build AppImages
  uses: docker://ghcr.io/lite-xl/lite-xl-build-box-manylinux:latest
  with:
    entrypoint: /entrypoint.sh
    args: |
      bash scripts/appimage.sh --debug --static --version ${INSTALL_REF} --release
      bash scripts/appimage.sh --debug --nobuild --addons --version ${INSTALL_REF}

If you don't use the entrypoint, GitHub Actions will concatenate all the lines into a single line.

- name: Build AppImages
  uses: docker://ghcr.io/lite-xl/lite-xl-build-box:v2.2.0
  with:
    entrypoint: /entrypoint.sh
    args: |
      bash scripts/appimage.sh --debug --static --version ${INSTALL_REF} --release
      bash scripts/appimage.sh --debug --nobuild --addons --version ${INSTALL_REF}
