explanation of self.hosted

[Kieran Donovan]

Could you please give more context to the interpretation of self.hosted within the pipilines.yml.

i.e.

- is this any machine from a pool of runners that have been added as repository runners and authenticated ?

- if I submit a pull request from a machine that is not a registered runner, should the pipeline still execute on an existing registered runner ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Kieran,

Any runners that you create will have a list of defined labels that are configured as part of the setup process. When you call the self.hosted parameter in your YML config, Bitbucket will check the current ONLINE runners and execute builds on any available runner that matches those labels - more information may be found here:

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/configure-your-runner-in-bitbucket-pipelines-yml/

If the runner is not running, or is not registered in your workspace/repository runners - the build will not execute on this runner.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!
