Their documentation seemed weird.
It seemed like if you wanted to self-host your own CI builder with their agent, it was still limited to 1 parallel build on their free plan?
Is that true?
With Gitlab, if you bring your own runner, there's no limitation like that AFAIK (I've never done this yet because I never surpassed 2k build minutes a month) but I glanced their docs.
- octopoc 8y agoYeah, that's annoying. However, there's an undocumented loophole: you can have multiple agents on the same machine and they can all run in parallel even if you didn't buy an extra private pipeline. We recently had a build server with four SSDs, one agent on each, and they could all run in parallel. It worked fine.
- techntoke 8y agoToo much trouble when GitLab actually has an open source version. Also AutoDevOps is AMAZING!
- _wmd 8y agoAFAIK one agent = one build. So just start several agents, they're only a few MB RAM
- jeremyepling 8y agoOpen source projects get unlimited self-hosted agents. Let me know if you aren't experiencing that. I'll make sure it's clear in the docs and the website. jepling at microsoft dot com.
