Hello guys, I'm trying to use codespace as a remote server and needed to turn on/off codespace at certain time.

This is how I imagine it works.

  1. There is a codespace created that you want to automate. (ex, do some scheduled jobs)
  2. You have already set a cronjob or a scheduled job in the codespace
  3. Through this action, you only turn on/off at the right timing to make above job work on time.

Prerequisites

  • You should have github tokens with permissions for codespace.
  • You should have a codespace already created. (because it just turns on & off existing one)

Parameters

  • cron: make this 1~2 minutes earlier before your "real cron job" in codespace starts
  • CODESPACE_NAME: name of your target codespace. ex) curious-fox-wr3249sfop3
  • WAIT_SECONDS: seconds to wait before stopping the codespace. I think it should be long enough to start the codespace + do your work in codespace. Calculate it so that your monthly usage minutes does not exceed the free tier.
name: Codespace Scheduler

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '*/5 * * * *'

    steps:
      - name: Codespace Scheduler

        env:
          GITHUB_AUTH: ${{ secrets.YOUR_TOKEN_NAME_WITH_PERMISSION_TO_CODESPACE }}
        with:
          CODESPACE_NAME: "your-codespace-name"
          WAIT_SECONDS: 30
