Self-hosted Actions Runner in a box

Turn GitHub Actions minute anxiety into a copy-paste self-hosted runner container

Problem

AI-assisted coding inflates code volume and build frequency, exhausting GitHub Pro's included minutes fast. Existing self-hosted runner options are either heavyweight K8s operators or bare Dockerfiles that ignore persistence and multi-repo needs. Users just want a one-command setup on a single machine or small team that also speeds up builds with local cache.

Solution

A containerized, one-command self-hosted GitHub Actions runner with multi-runner support, multi-repo sharing, local cache acceleration, auto-upgrade, and clean teardown. A simple web panel shows runner status, queues, and cache hits.

Users

Individual developers and small teams on GitHub Actions, open-source maintainers who regularly exceed free CI minutes

MVP

One command to launch runner containers; register multiple repositories; mount local cache; auto-update and health checks; basic status panel

Revenue

Open-source core free; paid hosted control panel, multi-node team management, and priority support; enterprise audit logging

Why now

AI coding is driving build volume up while free minutes stay flat; lightweight self-hosted runner solutions are still scarce and well-suited to an indie developer
