Skipbox runs your GitHub Actions jobs on your own Linux VM, kept between jobs, so Docker layers, package caches and installed tools are still there on the next run. Credentials, the workspace and every container are wiped after each job. A flat monthly price with unlimited minutes: $39 for 4 vCPU / 8 GB. Install the GitHub App and change one line to runs-on: skipbox. 7-day free trial, no card. Private repositories only.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
Honestly, my GitHub Actions bills were getting out of hand, so I built my own runner: Skipbox ⚡
Cheap and blazing fast:
• 1/12 the cost of GitHub Actions at full use ($39/mo flat vs $500 for GitHub's 4-core runner)
• 1/8 the cost of Blacksmith
• 7× GitHub's cache space, and your Docker and npm caches stay warm between jobs
• 2× the CPU of GitHub's standard runner
• Unlimited minutes, so run CI all day
Switching over: install the GitHub App and change one runs-on line.
I'm really proud of how it turned out, and I'd love to hear what you think!
