Would like to know the main reason you want to run on a different machine. Is it for reducing server load, or want to run build on Windows/Linux combo? For both situations, run build in a k8s cluster will be helpful and much flexible and scalable.

We are building on different architectures and sometimes spinning up cloud servers temporarily to help with certain builds. It's more convenient to just be able to spin up a machine with docker and go rather than go through the overhead of setting up a k8s cluster. I'm also not really sure how that would work with different architectures.

Spinning up a k8s cluster on GCP/Azure/AWS is really easy. After that, you may deploy OneDev server into k8s cluster directly, and it then can utilize k8s nodes automatically to run your builds on Windows/Linux. And it can scale up/down based on current load. That will be much easy to manage for the long run.

Sure, but we're using hardware that we have on premise, and it would be much more convenient if we could simply define a runner for an x86_64 machine and another runner for aarch64 and just select the appropriate one per build job. Spinning up/managing a cluster on prem will take significantly more time than just defining a runner per machine we want to use.

How does selecting of host architecture work with kubernetes?

I am not sure if it supports aarch64. Will add concept of runner in future versions of OneDev.

that feature would be perfect. Then I could move away from my gitea/drone environment.

Hi, i will follow this issue as it covers my needs : onedev is running on a windows bare metal machine. Docker is installed too so we can't run our CI/CD for Windows project. But for our others linux project, we have a separed linux distrib with docker. How to tell onedev to run docker on thé Linux Host ???

Thanks

This is my next todo.

I second that. Support for this would allow to setup a build runner on mac to build MacOS and iOS projects.

Is there any additional information or documentation on this?

I am writing a tutorial on this. Should be available soon.

Please check below tutorial on how to run job on remote machine with agents:
