Access request #375

Hi, I'd like to request access to the codeberg CI for my project.

Since the project attemps to rewrite the build system of OpenFOAM, a FOSS software that takes hours to compile on my machine, the CI will take a bit longer. I hope that does not conflict with the "Resource usage must be reasonable for the intended use-case" rule.

Hmm, generally we want to offer CI even for complex projects, but since our resources are currently still very limited, it might not yet suit your needs. The main problem is that computing usage varies a lot over the day. For example, if you start your project, you'd probably block computing for some hour(s), while for the rest of the day, the machines mostly idle. We are not fond of scaling up right now, because we already waste a lot of computing power for most of the day which is not used, but have some short spikes.

That said, I'll grant you access. Please try not to run your job continously and ideally check with the Matrix channel to receive feedback if your project jams the queue.

If it is an option, consider running your job outside of the CEST-evening (say 16.00 to 23.00 CEST), because this is the period with most traffic on Codeberg right now.

... at least until we have enough usage that justifies more computing power dedicated to CI.
