Managing larger runners - GitHub Docs

You can configure larger runners for your organization or enterprise.

Who can use this feature?

Larger runners are only available for organizations and enterprises using the GitHub Team or GitHub Enterprise Cloud plans.

Enterprise or organization owners can manage larger runners.

Note

Adding a larger runner to an organization

Organization owners can add a larger runner to an organization control which repositories can use it. When you create a new runner for an organization, by default, all repositories in the organization have access to the runner. To limit which repositories can use the runner, assign it to a runner group with access to specific repositories. For more information, see Allowing repositories to access larger runners.

You can choose an operating system and a hardware configuration from the list of available options. When new instances of this runner are deployed through autoscaling, they'll use the same operating system and hardware configuration you've defined here.

New runners are automatically assigned to the default group, or you can choose which group the runners must join during the runner creation process. In addition, you can modify the runner's group membership after you've registered the runner. For more information, see Controlling access to larger runners.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the organization.

  2. Under your organization name, click Settings. If you cannot see the "Settings" tab, select the dropdown menu, then click Settings.

  3. In the left sidebar, click Actions, then click Runners.

  4. Click New runner, then click New GitHub-hosted runner.

  5. Complete the required details to configure your new runner:

    Note

    The names of larger runners can dictate their functionality. For example, to use a larger runner for code scanning default setup, the runner must be named code-scanning. For more information on code scanning with larger runners, see Configuring larger runners for default setup.

  6. Click Create runner.

  7. To allow repositories to access your larger runners, add them to the list of repositories that can use it. For more information, see Allowing repositories to access larger runners.

Allowing repositories to access larger runners

Repositories are granted access to larger runners through runner groups. Enterprise administrators can choose which organizations are granted access to enterprise-level runner groups, and organization owners control repository-level access to all larger runners.

Organization owners can use and configure enterprise-level runner groups for the repositories in their organization, or they can create organization-level runner groups to control access.

Once a repository has access to larger runners, the larger runners can be added to workflow files. For more information, see Running jobs on larger runners.

  1. Navigate to the main page of the organization where your runner groups are located.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. In the left sidebar, click Actions, then click Runner groups.
  4. Select a runner group from either list on the page. Organization-level runner groups are listed at the top of the page, and enterprise-level runner groups are listed under "Shared by the Enterprise."
  5. On the runner group page, under "Repository access," select All repositories or Selected repositories. If you choose to grant access to specific repositories, click , then select the repositories you would like to grant access to from the list.

Warning

If you are using a Fixed IP range, we recommend that you only use larger runners with private repositories. Forks of your repository can potentially run dangerous code on your larger runner by creating a pull request that executes the code in a workflow. For more information, see Controlling access to larger runners.

Changing the name of a larger runner

Note

The names of larger runners can dictate their functionality. For example, to use a larger runner for code scanning default setup, the runner must be named code-scanning. For more information on code scanning with larger runners, see Configuring larger runners for default setup.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the organization.

  2. Under your organization name, click Settings. If you cannot see the "Settings" tab, select the dropdown menu, then click Settings.

  3. In the left sidebar, click Actions, then click Runners.

  4. In the list of runners, select the runner you would like to edit.

  5. Enter a new name for the runner in the text field under "Name."

  6. Click Save.

  3. In the left sidebar, click Actions, then click Runners.

  4. In the list of runners, select the runner you would like to edit.

  5. Select a new size for the runner from the list of available options under "Size." The available sizes depend on the image that is installed on the runner.

  6. Click Save.

Changing the image of a larger runner
  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the organization.

  2. Under your organization name, click Settings. If you cannot see the "Settings" tab, select the dropdown menu, then click Settings.

  3. In the left sidebar, click Actions, then click Runners.

  4. In the list of runners, select the runner you would like to edit.

  6. Click Save.

Configuring autoscaling for larger runners

You can control the maximum number of jobs allowed to run concurrently for specific runner sets. Setting this field to a higher value can help prevent workflows being blocked due to parallelism.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the organization.

  2. Under your organization name, click Settings. If you cannot see the "Settings" tab, select the dropdown menu, then click Settings.

  3. In the left sidebar, click Actions, then click Runners.

  4. In the list of runners, select the runner you would like to edit.

  5. In the "Auto-scaling" section, under "Maximum Job Concurrency," enter the maximum number of jobs you would like to allow to run at the same time.

  6. Click Save.

Creating static IP addresses for larger runners

You can enable static IP addresses for larger runners. When you do this, the larger runners are assigned static IP address ranges. All IP addresses in the range assigned are usable and not in CIDR notation. By default, you can configure up to 10 different larger runners with IP ranges for your account. If you would like to use more than 10 larger runners with static IP address ranges, please contact us through the GitHub Support portal.

The number of available IP addresses in the assigned ranges does not restrict number of concurrent jobs specified for autoscaling. Within a runner pool, there is a load balancer which allows for high reuse of the IP addresses in the assigned ranges. This ensures your workflows can run concurrently at scale while each machine is assigned a static IP address.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the organization.

  2. Under your organization name, click Settings. If you cannot see the "Settings" tab, select the dropdown menu, then click Settings.

  3. In the left sidebar, click Actions, then click Runners.

  4. In the list of runners, select the runner you would like to edit.

  5. To assign static IP addresses to the runner, under "Networking," check Assign unique & static public IP address ranges for this runner.

  6. Click Save.
