This page describes the GARM and GARM configurator charms. The relevant information for a minimal deployment is provided here.
The GARM charm deploys and manages the GARM service for managing GitHub self-hosted runners.
There is no mandatory action for GARM charm to function.
[Actions for GARM charm](https://charmhub.io/garm/actions)
The credentials to access the GitHub API are supplied by the GARM configurator through the GARM integration. The configurator supports GitHub App authentication. See the configurations for the GARM configurator charm for details.
[Configurations for GARM charm](https://charmhub.io/garm/configurations)
The GARM charm must be integrated with a PostgreSQL charm, and at least one GARM configurator charm. The PostgreSQL charm stores runner and job state, while GARM configurator charms provide the configuration for a single set GitHub self-hosted runners.
The GARM charm supports integration with COS (Canonical Observability Stack). See observe your charm with COS lite.

The GARM configurator charm provides a set of configurations of GitHub runner scaleset to the GARM charm. Multiple GARM configurator charms can be integrated to a single GARM charm, with each instance of GARM configurator charm representing a single GitHub runner scaleset in GARM.
Currently, the GARM charm and GARM configurator charm only support the GARM OpenStack provider.
The GARM configurator charm has no actions.
The GARM configurator charm holds the configuration for one GARM scaleset. The os-arch option, which specifies the
