WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
We've given a high-level overview of the offline runner and how it works. But let's actually use see it in action to see how it is used. As part of this demonstration, we're going to be building the djinn-ci/imgsrv image server. This is what's used for serving the base QEMU images at https://images.djinn-ci.com.
Perhaps the one feature that sets Djinn CI out from other CI platforms is the fact that is has an offline runner. The offline runner allows for CI builds to be run without having to send them to the server. There are some limitations around this, of course, but it provides a useful mechanism for sanity checking build manifests, testing custom images, and for building software without the need for a CI server.
