CI/CD

GitHub Action

The sind-action GitHub Action installs sind and creates clusters in your workflow. sind runs rootless on standard ubuntu-latest runners — no privileged containers or custom runner images required.

See the sind-action documentation for inputs, outputs, cluster definitions, and examples including parallel job isolation via realms.

Other CI systems

sind works in any CI environment that provides Docker. Install the binary from a GitHub release and run sind doctor to verify prerequisites:

curl -fsSL -o sind \
  "https://github.com/GSI-HPC/sind/releases/latest/download/sind-linux-amd64"
chmod +x sind
./sind doctor
./sind create cluster --config cluster.yml

sind requires Docker Engine 28.0+ and a Linux host with cgroupv2 and nsdelegate. Most modern CI runners meet these requirements out of the box.
