[bounty] self hosted runner on cloud

[louis030195]

github action runner are trash and i got charged $50 for a single run of their bigger runner

we want to use cloud, like GCP kubernetes or something like this to speed up things and stop crashing because out of storage

need more precision but should be a one liner for us like a script that create a cluster and setup things for github ideally

bounty TBD

Well this can't be done with a single one liner because the process varies between OSes...
So what exactly do you wish to do

Generally though, it boils down to:

• Creating a server in whatever cloud service, logging into it through SSH. (can be done through an API)
• Install the GitHub runner application via SSH
• Get a config token through the GitHub UI or use the GitHub API POST endpoint which is /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runners/registration-token
• Run the config program with the token and GitHub repo:
  ./config.sh --url https://github.com/octo-org --token TOKEN

And the self-hosted runner should be set-up, but the Actions files would still have to be modified after this to use the self-hosted runner of course. Also needs some other minor stuff like proper permissions and directories and so on.

I could implement this for you, but please clarify the question above regarding different OSes first, and also what cloud service would be used exactly.
