Register your GitHub Organisation¶
Actuated is a managed service, where you plug in your own servers, and we do everything else needed to create and manage self-hosted runners for your GitHub Actions.
Plans are paid monthly, without any minimum commitment.
What you'll need¶
- A GitHub organisation
- One or more public or private repositories hosted in the organisation
- Administrative access to install the actuated GitHub App
- A company credit-card to pay for your subscription
- One or more bare-metal servers (we'll recommend the best fit for you during onboarding)
We'll guide you through the process¶
We'll walk you through the onboarding process and answer all your questions, so that you can be up and running straight away.
We've now run over 245,000 VMs for commercial teams, and there's very little for you to do to get started, in most cases, we've seen a 2-3x speed up for x86_64
builds by switching one line in a workflow: runs-on: actuated-4cpu-16gb
. For Arm
builds, native hardware makes a night and day difference.
Book a call with us¶
Some engineers hate talking to sales people. You're not alone, and this is not a sales call, or with sales people. Our pricing is public, and paid month to month by corporate card.
The purpose of a call is to understand your goals, and help you pick the best server hardware, hosting company, and subscription plan for your usage.
Before the call, generate a usage report with our open-source actions-usage tool for at least 7 days, and either send it over via email or share it with us on the call. It'll help us make a better recommendation.
Install the GitHub App¶
An administrator from your GitHub organisation will need to install the actuated GitHub App. GitHub Apps provide fine-grained access controls for third-parties integrating with GitHub.
