# Reclient
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Reclient integrates with an existing build system to enable remote execution and caching of build actions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Electron has a deployment of a [reclient](https://github.com/bazelbuild/reclient)
|
||
|
|
compatible RBE Backend that is available to all Electron Maintainers.
|
||
|
|
See the [Access](#access) section below for details on authentication. Non-maintainers
|
||
|
|
will not have access to the cluster, but can sign in to receive a `Cache Only` token
|
||
|
|
that gives access to the cache-only CAS backend. Using this should result in
|
||
|
|
significantly faster build times .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Enabling Reclient
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently the only supported way to use Reclient is to use our [Build Tools](https://github.com/electron/build-tools).
|
||
|
|
Reclient configuration is automatically included when you set up `build-tools`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have an existing config, you can just set `"reclient": "remote_exec"`
|
||
|
|
in your config file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Building with Reclient
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you are using Reclient, you can run `autoninja` with a substantially higher `j`
|
||
|
|
value than would normally be supported by your machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please do not set a value higher than **200**. The RBE system is monitored.
|
||
|
|
Users found to be abusing it with unreasonable concurrency will be deactivated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
autoninja -C out/Testing electron -j 200
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're using `build-tools`, appropriate `-j` values will automatically be used for you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Access
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For security and cost reasons, access to Electron's RBE backend is currently restricted
|
||
|
|
to Electron Maintainers. If you want access, please head to `#access-requests` in
|
||
|
|
Slack and ping `@infra-wg` to ask for it. Please be aware that being a
|
||
|
|
maintainer does not _automatically_ grant access. Access is determined on a
|
||
|
|
case-by-case basis.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We do not provide support for usage of Reclient. Issues raised asking for help / having
|
||
|
|
issues will _probably_ be closed without much reason. We do not have the capacity to handle
|
||
|
|
that kind of support.
