| Free tier | none: the hosted service shut down on 2026-07-15. The pricing page still lists a Free plan of 1,500 CI minutes a month with 500 pull-request deployment minutes, an Individual plan at USD 25 a month with 10,000 minutes, and USD 0.006 per additional minute, but the sign-up host app.garnix.io does not resolve unit none; metered on none; the listed plans are not purchasable; they are kept here as the former offer |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
there is no allowance to bind: the hosted service is gone |
| Binding | none there is no service to bind: the sign-up and cache hosts answer NXDOMAIN |
| Identity | email not applicable now: the sign-up host app.garnix.io does not resolve. The former service was reached by installing the garnix GitHub App on a GitHub org or account |
| Egress | not applicable: the build and cache hosts no longer resolve |
| Per-object cap | former caps: 2 hours per build and 30 minutes without output; the Nix eval stage was limited to 4GB |
| Retention | all user data, build artifacts included, was deleted on 2026-07-15 |
| Interface | git the former service built the flake outputs of a GitHub repository that had the garnix GitHub App installed and a top-level flake.nix; only x86_64-linux was enabled by default |
| Tooling | a flake.nix and the garnix GitHub App; app.garnix.io and cache.garnix.io no longer resolve |
| Composes with | none: the hosted service is gone, and the hosted runners of this topic replace it |
| Reliability | app.garnix.io and cache.garnix.io answer NXDOMAIN while the garnix.io marketing pages and the pricing table still serve |
| Notes | Rejected as a CI runner service: the hosted service ended on 2026-07-15, two months after the 2026-05-28 announcement, and its data was deleted the same day. The former Free plan was 1,500 CI minutes a month and the former price USD 0.006 per further minute; neither can be bought. Any hosted runner in this topic comes first. Last resort: the code is published as garnix-io/garnix-ci, which the user would install and run on a rented or free machine; a public community instance is unverified. |
| Evidence note | measured the shutdown date and the deletion of user data are quoted from the vendor's own announcement; the sign-up host and the binary cache host were resolved through a public DNS-over-HTTPS resolver on 2026-10-30 and both answered NXDOMAIN |
