Runners

Runners are execution targets.

Orch currently supports:

• local
• ssh

Adapters declare the capabilities they need. Runners expose capabilities such as:

• Exec
• FileCopy

Lifecycle hooks require Exec. Adapters that copy source files or artifacts require FileCopy.

Local Runner

runners:
  local:
    type: local
    config: {}

SSH Runner

SSH runners execute through a remote shell wrapper and copy files over SSH/SFTP.

SSH host key verification is required. Configure either known_hosts or explicit insecure mode:

runners:
  vm:
    type: ssh
    config:
      host: example.com
      port: 22
      user: deploy
      host_key:
        known_hosts: ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Use host_key.insecure: true only for local development or throwaway test hosts.
