MYCILIUM

distribute tasks to host machines for CI purposes

How it works

1. An event triggers triggers an action that instructs the orchestrator to make a build request for specific platforms. e.g. A push to a branch

   graph LR
   
   GH[Push to repo] --Build request--> Orchestrator[Orchestrator Server]
   

   Loading

2. Host machines checks with the orchestrator server to determine if they should start a new build. When there is a new repo to build, then the host machine will confirm that it will start building

   macOS Host Machine -->> Orchestrator Server: poll
   Orchestrator Server -->> macOS Host Machine: list of things to build for macOS
   macOS Host Machine -->> Orchestrator Server: I will start building
   Orchestrator Server -->> macOS Host Machine: ok, start building
   

   Loading

3. The host machine clones the repo and starts doing the steps specified in the configuration.

4. When finished, it notifies the orchestrator and will do any post-finish steps specified (like uploading artifacts)

   macOS Host Machine -->> Orchestrator Server: I have finished
   Orchestrator Server -->> macOS Host Machine: ok
   macOS Host Machine -->> GitHub: e.g. upload artifacts to latest release
