Any suggestions for a self-hosted CI that can also be run locally?
-
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)?
Surprised to not see Gitea here, thats what I've been using for awhile now for my little projects

@[email protected] 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.
Boo! I didn’t know that, but thanks for letting me know.

Are you able to run woodpecker locally from the repository? As in can
woodpecker runin the checked out repository run the CI jobs?It also has a CLI tool that I know can re-run your pipeline locally for debugging, so just running it normally should also be possible. Haven't used either so far though.

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

Oh yeah I keep forgetting about that. One of these days I'll jump to Forgejo

I know what you mean, but do you not read the diff? Are you working on codebases that are so obfuscated that you can't spot a malicious command?

Do you have a link to that? There's a blog entry "Earthly Switches to Open-source" From July 2023. Are they undoing that?

What if they pull in a new dependency with a CVE or that executes malicious code? How am I supposed to check that? Or what if I miss a bug in the justfile or shell script?

You may try out https://github.com/melezhik/sparky which is a local / remote task runner with nice front end and scripts could be written on many languages
