Build Workers

A worker is a machine that runs your builds: it clones your repository, runs the build pipeline (Xcode, EAS, Gradle), and uploads the finished artifacts and logs back to Venelx.

Shared workers (default)

Out of the box your builds run on Venelx shared workers, which Venelx operates. You don't install or maintain anything.

Your own workers

You can also run builds on your own Mac, Linux, or Windows machines. Install the Venelx Worker app, pair it with your account, and your builds can run on hardware you control.

bash

# macOS / Linux (Debian, Ubuntu; x86_64)
curl -fsSL https://get.venelx.com | sh

powershell

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://get.venelx.com/win | iex

Then pair the worker from Account → Self-hosted workers. The full walkthrough, including routing options per project, is in Build workers.

Why a Mac for iOS

iOS builds need macOS and Xcode, so an .ipa can only be produced on a Mac worker. Android builds also run on Linux and Windows (via WSL2) workers.
