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)?
Put as much of your testing in shell scripts, or even better, Ansible playbooks, so that you can run them locally. That way your CI system just does
ansible-playbook
There’s a very good Ansible collection for podman, so you can orchestrate the unit tests to run inside a container for full isolation
good luck
