Hey guys,
I intend to get a small Hetzner box (most probably AX41-NVMe) for buildbtw development and testing, trying a bunch of things in the capacity of a proof-of-concept. We don't exactly know where we're going with this yet. We need a hardware machine as we need it to be able to do virtualization. Hetzner cloud VMs can't do virtualization.
It will be a special gitlab-runner executor. The idea is to fork the libvirt runner and add a bunch of buildbtw-specific stuff to it.
It will not be managed by devops. I will give root to people involved in the buildbtw project. Costs will be <€40/month. It will be decommissioned after development.
Any thoughts or objections?
The machine has been ordered! It's a AX41-NVMe in Helsinki for €37.30 per month for the duration of buildbtw research and development.
And the server has been cancelled now that we have the production stack in place (based on cheap VMs, the build servers are separate).
