About:
Tartelet is a macOS application designed to manage GitHub Actions self-hosted runners within isolated virtual machines. It automatically creates, starts, and stops VMs to run jobs, ensuring a clean and secure environment for each workflow execution. This approach enhances security and stability by preventing state leakage between CI/CD jobs.
Key Features:
  • Automatic VM lifecycle management for runners
  • Isolated execution environment per job
  • Native macOS integration and UI
  • Seamless GitHub Actions integration
Use Cases:
  • Running CI/CD jobs for macOS projects with enhanced security
  • Providing ephemeral build environments for GitHub Actions
  • Managing multiple runner instances on a single host
Alternatives:
  • act – Runs GitHub Actions locally in Docker containers, whereas Tartelet manages full VMs for production-like runner environments.
  • GitHub-hosted runners – Tartelet provides self-hosted runners with more control over the environment and potential cost savings for high-volume usage.
