As Saul mentioned, we have the builder user already, but we need to have a git repo or extracted tarball with Hob built and ready to go by default, we may just have to populate the user with the source, and then manually build hob the first time. I think the recent poky master should be stable enough, and we can specify a certain commit to based on. We may need to add a recipe that installs poky.git into the self-hosted-image, or we may add some things to the existing self-hosted-image.bb I'm currently working on this bug.
