Quick start

From registration through a first agent to a first job and its run on the dashboard, in one pass. Every step is a link; this page explains nothing.

About ten minutes, most of it on the host. You will need an email address and one Linux machine (or container) where the first job is to run.

  1. Create a workspace. Fill in the registration form at runjet.dev; an email arrives with a link, and only that link creates the workspace. What happens in between is in registration and confirmation. The first account is an admin, and the first thirty days are free (the workspace's life).

  2. Sign in at app.runjet.dev. You land on the dashboard, which is empty for now: no agents, no jobs.

  3. Enrol an agent. On the Agents screen click Register agent, name the machine, and leave the dialog with the command open. The rest happens on the host and is all on the installing an agent page: the binary, two accounts, a systemd unit, the command from the dialog, systemctl enable --now. You are done when the agent has a green dot in the list.

  4. Create a job. On the Jobs screen click Create job: a name, a command (date will do to begin with), a schedule from the builder, a ticked agent, save. Field by field, that is creating a job.

  5. Run it now. Run now on the job's row, then confirm. Within a second the run is in the job's history with its output and exit status (running by hand, run states).

  6. Leave it running. Further runs arrive on the schedule; the dashboard's "next up" band says when. If one fails, an email arrives — that is on from the start.

From here: secrets for the passwords a command needs; tags once there are more jobs; invitations for colleagues; and plans once the free month ends.
