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tools and you can use whatever cruft you want around it with just a few lines instead of monster ci file that goes out of date next year.
Earthly!
@szicari@programming.dev it should be noted that they’re shutting down the open source project. However, a fork is apparently forming. But it’s good to know.
Do you have a link to that? There’s a blog entry “Earthly Switches to Open-source” From July 2023. Are they undoing that?
Surprised to not see Gitea here, thats what I’ve been using for awhile now for my little projects
gitea has had some organizational problems so a lot of people have been using forgejo instead, which is just a community fork of gitea plus some more features
I use forjero with forgero runners.
Basicly 100% compatible with GitHub actions and all locally run via podman.
Strong recommend. It’s all designed to work together and everything just works.
Isn’t Forgejo runner still in alpha though? How stable is it?
I can’t speak for general use. But use it to:
- Build Rust artifacts
- Rebuild static sites, upload them to a bucket, then clear the CDN cache.
It works perfectly for me and I have not run into issues. But it might be bad for other people. I just know it works well for me.
