CI build machine.
hades is the fastest of my Dell OptiPlex servers, sporting an 8th-gen Intel i7 and 48GiB of RAM. And ironically for that it ends up sitting idle most of time, because its purpose is to run CI builds, mostly for when my Nix configurations change.
Due to my use of microVMs to isolate the different services I run, evaluating the Nix code for my machines (particularly apollo) needs a lot of free memory, since it consists of 40ish full NixOS configurations. So this machine is provisioned to support that and hopefully evaluate them as quickly as possible.
hades doesn't run any microVMs itself. CI builds are currently run via forgejo-runner using podman.
