Last setup I worked on, we rented out M1s from Hetzner, and each machine could run 2 builds simultaneously. XCode makes pretty good utilization of all cores so there isn’t much benefit to parallel runs in the same machine vs a queue.
We also used it for JS builds as it was way faster than the Intel runners, and 3-4x faster than GitHub’s own M1 hosts.
- manmal 3y agoI‘m currently setting up iOS CI, and got excited when you mentioned Hetzner, but turns out this has been abandoned. Scaleway seems like a good alternative, but 4 months of that is roughly equal to buying a refurbed machine. Since self hosted runners are easy to setup, we‘re really thinking about letting them run onsite.
- suryao 3y agoCheck out warpbuild.com - I'm the founder and we have ios runners that are cheaper than the github equivalent.
- ricardobeat 3y agoI don't know if something changed in their offering, but you can still find M1s available via the 'Dedicated -> Server Finder' page.
