Ovens: hosted and self-hosted build machines

An oven is a machine that runs jobs. BuildBakery hosts macOS and Linux ovens. On a paid plan you can also register your own Mac, Linux or Windows machine as a private oven: install the agent with the registration token from the Ovens page and it connects out to BuildBakery over HTTPS, with no inbound ports.

• The agent updates itself when a new version is released.
• Macs need Apple silicon and 8 GB of memory or more. VMs are sized to fit, leaving 3 GB for macOS.
• A new job waits up to 20 seconds for one of your ovens before a hosted oven takes it. oven_pool: own or hosted pins a workflow to one side.
• Minutes on your own ovens are not metered; hosted minutes per plan are on the pricing page.
• What each machine type has preinstalled, and how to require a tool or Xcode version: platforms and tools.
