Register a Host4Fun VPS as a CircleCI self-hosted runner. Run pipelines on your own hardware — zero credit consumption, persistent Docker layer cache, private network access, and dedicated AMD Ryzen CPU.
CircleCI charges per credit/minute beyond free tier. Self-hosted runners on a VPS run unlimited pipelines at flat VPS cost — private network access, local Docker cache, and consistent dedicated CPU.
CircleCI self-hosted runner jobs don't consume credits. All CPU time runs on your VPS — unlimited job minutes within VPS capacity.
NVMe SSD caches Docker layers between jobs. 5-minute Docker builds become 30-second builds with warm layer cache — impossible on cloud runners that start fresh.
VPS runner connects to private databases, internal APIs, and services not exposed to internet — impossible from CircleCI cloud runners behind NAT.
Consistent build times without cloud runner noisy-neighbor effects. Predictable performance across all builds.
Everything you need — installed and configured on your VPS in minutes.
SSH in and follow these commands. Your stack will be live in under 10 minutes.
AMD Ryzen CPUs, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD, and 10 Gbps network — the infrastructure your workload deserves.
Self-hosted runner jobs don't consume CircleCI credits. All pipeline execution on your VPS — unlimited test runs and Docker builds within VPS capacity.
NVMe SSD caches pulled images and built layers between jobs. node:20-alpine pulled once, reused on every subsequent run — 5-minute builds become 30-second builds.
Pipelines on your VPS runner access private DBs, internal APIs, and non-internet services. Essential for integration tests against private infrastructure.
Dedicated vCPUs process jobs immediately — no shared runner saturation during peak hours. Consistent build times across all runs.
Register multiple runner agents on same VPS or across multiple instances. CircleCI distributes parallel jobs across all registered runners.
Prometheus Node Exporter monitors runner CPU, memory, and job queue. Grafana dashboards show build times and runner utilization over time.

What developers and teams are building.
Build Docker images with full layer cache reuse. NVMe-cached layers turn 5-minute fresh builds into 30-second incremental builds.
Test against private databases and internal APIs on the same VPS network. Integration tests requiring non-public infrastructure.
Teams running 500+ build minutes/day save significantly vs cloud credits at flat $7/mo VPS runner cost.

No — self-hosted runner jobs are completely free of credit charges. Only CircleCI cloud runners consume the free 400 min/month quota.
Runner agent polls CircleCI for jobs assigned to your resource class. Claims jobs, executes on VPS, reports results back. Your VPS CPU and disk, not CircleCI infrastructure.
Docker executor recommended — each job runs in fresh container for isolation. Shell executor runs directly on VPS (simpler but less isolated). Docker with privileged: true enables Docker-in-Docker for image builds.
Yes — multiple agents on same VPS, each registered to same resource class. CircleCI distributes jobs across all available runners. Professional plan (4 vCPU) handles 2-4 concurrent light jobs.
CircleCI runner uses CircleCI platform for job routing and UI — you provide execution machine. Jenkins VPS is fully self-hosted including CI orchestration. CircleCI runner if already using CircleCI; Jenkins VPS for full independence.
CircleCI jobs fail if runner goes offline mid-job and must be re-triggered. Configure CircleCI retry policies. For critical pipelines, register 2+ runners across multiple VPS instances for redundancy.
