I left Github a while ago and have been relying on simple pre-push scripts in my workflow, but would like to be able to test PRs from others without putting my machine at risk. Besides codeberg and radicle (neither of which have reliable CI), I also have a build machine, where I could run CI jobs, however it is important that the CI jobs can also run locally so that external people do not require access to the build machine.
Is there a CI that can do those things (run locally and remotely)?
@onlinepersona don’t do it. Create makefiles or whatever that runs the build as a series of Podman/Docker commands or whatever, then just put as little CI config as possible around it. You’ll thank me when you need to switch CI system.
I can’t upvote this comment enough. I grow so angry at Gitlab ci and GitHub actions. Even Jenkins got in on the junk.
Just use normal build tools and you can use whatever cruft you want around it with just a few lines instead of monster ci file that goes out of date next year.
