Khazix runs spare M4 Mac mini as self-hosted CI and agent machine
Overview
Khazix says he repurposed an M4 Mac mini, originally meant to be sold, as a self-hosted CI runner and dedicated machine for his agents.
He moved end-to-end tests from GitHub CI because agents opened so many pull requests that GitHub cost him an extra $20 to $30 a month, even with a paid plan. He says the Mac mini runs 24 hours a day and parallel runs are fast.
The machine also serves as a dedicated agent computer. Khazix says Chrome is logged in and Feishu CLI is set up so the agent can operate on its own.
