Bitbucket Pipeline build a pyinstaller binary

[geoff_roddick]

I am looking to use a pipeline to build my python project, but it doesn't look like I can have it build my python project using pyinstaller targeting macOS x86 - is this correct?

Hi Geoff and welcome to the community!

Pipelines builds on Atlassian's infrastructure run on a Kubernetes cluster of Linux Docker hosts. Every step of the build runs in a separate Docker container, and you can specify the Docker image used for each step.

If your build needs to run on macOS, this is not currently supported on Atlassian's infrastructure. However, if you have a Mac where you can run builds, you can use a macOS self-hosted runner:

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/runners/
• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/set-up-runners-for-macos/

Runners allow you to run builds in Pipelines on your own infrastructure. You'll be able to see build logs on the repo's page on Bitbucket's site, and you won’t be charged for the build minutes used by your self-hosted runners.

We have the following feature request for supporting macOS builds on our own infrastructure:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-22154

Kind regards,
Theodora
