To run Sikuli from GitHub Actions remotely, you can utilize the **Sikuli
Remote Control** (SikuliRC) or **Sikuli Server** projects available on
GitHub. Here’s a detailed approach based on the available resources:

## Setting Up Sikuli Remote Control

1. **Clone the Sikuli Remote Control Repository**:
   You can find the SikuliRC project on GitHub. Clone it to your local machine or directly into your GitHub Actions workflow.

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/enix12enix/sikuli-remote-control.git
   ```

2. **Run the Sikuli Server**:
   You need to run the Sikuli server on the remote machine. This can be done using the following command, depending on your operating system:

   For macOS:
   ```bash
   java -jar server-mac-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
   ```

   For Windows:
   ```bash
   java -jar server-windows-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
   ```

3. **Set Up the Client**:
   In your GitHub Actions workflow, you can set up a Java client to invoke Sikuli functions remotely. Here’s an example of how to configure the client:

   ```java
   RemoteScreen rs = new RemoteScreen("remote-machine-ip");
   rs.setMinSimilarity(0.9);
   rs.click("path/to/image.png");
   ```

   Ensure that the Java client API is included in your classpath.

## Integrating with GitHub Actions

1. **Create a Workflow File**:
   In your repository, create a `.github/workflows/sikuli.yml` file to define your GitHub Actions workflow.

   ```yaml
   name: Sikuli Remote Control

   on: [push]

   jobs:
     run-sikuli:
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Checkout code
           uses: actions/checkout@v2

         - name: Set up JDK
           uses: actions/setup-java@v2
           with:
             java-version: '11'

         - name: Run Sikuli Script
           run: |
             java -cp "path/to/sikuli-script.jar:path/to/other/libs/*" your.package.MainClass
   ```

2. **Environment Variables**:
   Make sure to set any necessary environment variables, such as the IP address of the remote machine where the Sikuli server is running.

## Additional Resources

- **Sikuli Server**: Another option is to use the Sikuli server directly, which allows you to invoke Sikuli scripts remotely. You can find this project on GitHub as well [here](https://github.com/enix12enix/sikuliserver) [4].
  
- **Robot Framework Integration**: If you are using Robot Framework, consider using the Remote Sikuli Library, which allows for remote UI testing capabilities [5].

By following these steps, you can successfully run Sikuli scripts
remotely using GitHub Actions. Ensure that your remote machine is
properly configured to accept connections from your GitHub Actions
environment. Regarding https://photocall-tv.com/
