What is the correct way to use redpanda as a Github action service?

[RodolfoSilva]

I'm trying to configure readpanda as a service in my GitHub action, but I'm not able to configure this because github workflows don't support command override.
I was wondering if there is any way to run redpanda and pass this params command as an ENV? Or has any other way to use redpanda as a Github action service?

This is how I'm trying to configure:

      redpanda:
        image: docker.vectorized.io/vectorized/redpanda:v21.11.8
        command:
          - redpanda start
          - --smp 1
          - --reserve-memory 0M
          - --overprovisioned
          - --node-id 0
          - --kafka-addr PLAINTEXT://0.0.0.0:29092,OUTSIDE://0.0.0.0:9092
          - --advertise-kafka-addr PLAINTEXT://kafka:29092,OUTSIDE://localhost:9092
        options: >-
          --health-cmd rpk cluster metadata
          --health-interval 10s
          --health-timeout 5s
          --health-retries 5
        ports:
          - 9092:9092
          - 29092:29092

@senior7515 I’ve found this github action, this is working for me. What do you think about have this action as part of Redpanda organization?

for completeness, we are talking with @fernandes to contribute it to the main redpanda-data org so we can maintain it going forward.
