Does Bitbucket Pipelines support self hosted runners?

[Wilfred Barreto]

Would like to know if Bitbucket pipelines supports self hosted runners and/or a hybrid hosted and self hosted runner setup. Bonus if integrating with AWS spot is possible.

As far as I know as a non-user of Atlassian Bitbucket Server, it does not have the Pipelines Plugin. So, I might be wrong believing that there is no runner in the scope of the options that Atlassian Bitbucket Server (or Data-Center) gives, as far as I can tell the server documentation does not have it (searched in it for "pipeline/s").

Apart from Atlassian itself, there are a couple of runners independently available, most that I know of are somewhat hack-ish (no bad feelings here), mostly for development (which makes sense) which means not feature complete. And a shameless self-plug here, as I have one such utility on Github as well which I normally extend to the level of features I need my own:

• Pipelines - Run Bitbucket Pipelines Wherever They Dock

But I guess you've looked already around a bit and might have stumbled over these.

What I've always missed is that Bitbucket never came en-par with Gitlab (gitlab-runner) which offers the command line runner since like always, as well as other more CI/CD specific offerings like Codeship (jet) also like always offering it and always very well integrated or Circle CI (CircleCI CLI) which I never used the command-line utility personally, but I've heard the utility does run the jobs locally.

Bitbucket Cloud announced they are in the process of building out self-hosted runner support. They are currently accepting applications for an early access program looking for feedback from the community.

Egor, I'll be buying your product, thank you.

My use case is a custom container that has ~30GB of Xilinx tools in it... Copying the container out out Dockerhub on every build is silly.  A Xilinx tools container is also silly - I know.  

The Github Actions runner works great for this use case - just host your own VM and get to work.  It's so easy I assumed Bitbucket would have feature parity here.  I was wrong.  

This is a major missing piece Atlassian. 

I can't believe there no way to host my own build runner lol...

Hi,

as far as I know, Bitbucket Pipelines is available only for Bitbucket Cloud and doesn't support any sort of runners, you can buy only "minutes".

We're working on a self-hosted alternative that provides native integration with Bitbucket interface and allows to run any amount of runners — snake-ci.com 

Also, we're offering private beta builds, drop me a line if you have any questions: we@reconquest.io
