      # Note: this builds in the directory /var/work. First you must create the
      # directory and take ownership:
      #
      #   sudo mkdir /var/work
      #   sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) /var/work
      #
      - name: Build Curie OS
        run: make BUILD_DIR=/var/work

# Steps to set up a self-hosted runner:
#
# 1. Go to your repository on GitHub, then to the "Settings" tab.
#
# 2. Navigate to "Actions" -> "Runners" -> "New self-hosted runner".
#
# 3. Follow the instructions to download and configure the runner on your
#    server (e.g., Cinder).
#
# 4. Run the installation command provided by GitHub.
#
# 5. Start the runner on your server using the command provided. Make sure to
#    start it as a service to automatically restart if the server reboots.
#
# 6. The server will now act as a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner.
#
# Make sure the server where the runner is installed is online before triggering
# the workflow, as it won’t attempt to launch a runner for an offline server.
