Happy to share what I've been working on these past weeks at RISE: free #riscv GitHub Actions runners for any open source project.

Real hardware, not QEMU. Ephemeral #kubernetes pods on bare-metal RISC-V nodes.

1. Install the #github app:
- for orgs https://github.com/apps/rise-risc-v-runners
- for personal accounts: https://github.com/apps/rise-risc-v-runners-personal

2. Set `runs-on: ubuntu-24.04-riscv` in your workflow, and you're good to go.

@ludovic_dev Nice! What hardware is behind this? Any plans to support GitLab or Codeberg?

@jas it’s backed by Scaleway EM-RV1 (based on TH1520), and working with them on EM-RV2 which should be faster.

Elastic Metal RV1

The world's first RISC-V servers available in the cloud. Taste the new open processor architecture now. Will you take the risk?

Scaleway Labs
@jas and there are plans to support Gitlab, Codeberg, and other CI systems, but focus right now is on having some adoption. If you have a project using any other CI system that you want to use it on, let me know and I can check how to support it!
