Runner images

Your toolchain, already in the VM.

Put a setup script in your repository. Smyrg builds it into a VM image, so your jobs skip the install steps.

  1. Open a pull request Add .smyrg/image.yml and a setup script.
  2. CI runs on the new image Smyrg builds a candidate image for the PR. Your normal CI jobs run on it, so they test it.
  3. Merge to make it active New jobs use the new image. A failed build keeps your last good image.

Built for CI you can trust

A new VM for every job

Smyrg starts a new Boat VM for each job and removes it when the job ends. No VM runs a second job, so no state moves between builds.

Your compute, your bill

Boat bills your own wallet per second. The Smyrg subscription pays for job coordination only.

Keys stay out of the VM

Your Boat key and the GitHub App key stay in Smyrg. A runner VM gets only the one-time registration for its own job.
