[cbi-dev] Extending JIRO instance by external nodes

[Karsten Thoms <karsten.thoms@xxxxxxxxx>]

Would it be possible to extend the build capacity of JIRO for a specific project by external servers? Currently we only have 2 executors building the project. The Xtext project is split into 8 main repositories, and many of our changes span multiple repositories. This means that we often have a large build queue and we would like to have that processed as fast as possible. Also, we would like to test our builds on multiple supported target and OS platforms.

We could imagine to rent additional servers for getting the job done. Could such servers be integrated into JIRO to participate as additional nodes of the cluster? What needs to be done to make this happen?

Best wishes,
