nodemcu-firmware-build-as-github-action

A Github action that builds a custom NodeMCU firmware image for me.

An attempt to use frightanic's Docker builder image on Github infrastructure instead of his original cloud service.

Ideally, having a Github action for this will allow us to build custom NodeMCU firmware images by just uploading the custom ingredients and very few meta data into a Github repo. Let's see how close we can get.

Beware the "master" branch

I'll try and keep the master branch pointing to the latest mostly-stable version, but plese check if you might prefer to use one of the version branches. They might be just as stable but more up-to-date.

Usage

Example repos for how to build a firmware:

• https://github.com/mk-pmb/nodemcu-firmware-daily-vanilla/
