Show HN: Remote Compilation for Your Build

Looks really nice. However I am not sure how much of my privacy is protected when I submit the code to your server. Is it possible to have the code be encrypted somehow?

You are talking about something along the lines of fully homomorphic encryption there.

There's no CI/CD provider that can give you that. There's barely anyone on Earth that can run you a Hello World with FHE, let alone offering it as a service to build binaries.

Sure, but a CI provider like GitLab provides some assurances that the compiler is not compromised. I can use my own container for the build if I want to

how do you know that the underlying infrastructure is not compromised? Your files are still on their filesystem and all data is in their memory that can be accessed by any employee (in theory)

Full Encryption is not possible. It it similar to people making private Github repos or Github Actions.

Hi,

I have created an npm package that rsync the code to a remote server and compiles the code over there and exposes the product URL. Please let me know what you think?

Quick suggestion: If you're doing demo videos, start from a clean desktop, better yet, a fresh new user. It's weird to see your favorites.

thanks. I will keep this in mind

I've had the same idea for Rust builds where builds and artifacts are stored on a remote server. Looks interesting, but devil will be the details.

Yes, There are so many things to take care of. Are you interested to give it a try?

Can you pls do distcc? Thanks

Distcc works for c/c++. This is aimed for js, Android etc

Then , you must mention this in the website.

feedback taken

What would you be willing to pay? I was thinking about selling an AWS image for that purpose?
