AWS offers Mac M1 instances, using Mac Minis. It seems like Github could do it.

Mac Minis aren't servers though - they suck in terms of redundancy, density, form factor, "lights out" management. It's fascinating the effort made by some ( like AWS, Mac Stadium, Scaleway) to try to force Mac Minis and Pros to be server-ish.

And Apple's EULA makes them basically unusable as short term rented servers, there's a minimum of 24h which is ridiculous.

True, but if they're "server enough" for AWS, I think that says something. The 24 hour thing is a problem though.
