create a new self-hosted runner

[Alex Perez]

Hello there,

I'm looking for a mechanism to create self-hosted runners in our clouds, but I can't find an REST API call to bitbucket to create a new runner.

So far, I can create a custom pipe to handle the needed azure calls to create a new VM, install the runner.jar and so on, but looks like there is not API call to register it as bitbucket runner (?).

the only articles/issues relatd to this topic are

post dating back from 2022 in stackoverflow -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70188747/programmatically-create-runner-for-bitbucket-pipelines

and two jira issues asking for this: 

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-21708

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-21309

Any clues on this?

Hey @Alex Perez 

Unfortunately, we don't have the public API to fetch the details of runners currently. We completely understand how beneficial this feature would be.
As you already know, we have an enhancement request for this functionality with our development team, as you can check on the link: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-21309

I encourage you to vote on the feature request ticket to increase its popularity and add yourself as a watcher to be kept informed of progress going forward.
