title: builds.sr.ht Installation
---

This document covers the installation steps for builds.sr.ht, a continuous
integration service.

builds.sr.ht is comprised of two components: a **master server** and **job
runners**. Typically, deployments have one master and many runners, which are
distributed across multiple servers.

  <strong>Note:</strong> For smaller deployments, job runners can be installed
  alongside the master server, but
