What is myshoes?
myshoes is a self-hosted control plane for GitHub Actions runners that automatically provisions and scales virtual machines across your infrastructure. You run the myshoes daemon on your own server, configure it with a GitHub App, and connect it to cloud providers via plugins (shoes-providers) for LXD, OpenStack, AWS EC2 Spot, and more. It manages runner lifecycle via webhooks, supports per-repository or per-organization runner sizing (nano through 4xlarge), and requires a MySQL database. The project is written in Go and distributed as a single binary.
