Hi,

I=E2=80=99ve started thinking about moving away from GitHub actions =
myself, and was wondering what else was out there that fulfills a bunch =
of these needs. Feedback I got and some brief research turned up =
Woodpecker CI[0]

While Woodpecker promotes its Docker images, esp. for integration with =
Codeberg and other Forgejo services, it=E2=80=99s a Go app so compiles =
for quite a lot of platforms, and has a =E2=80=9Clocal mode=E2=80=9D in =
which, from what I understand, you can run it on whatever trusted =
hardware you=E2=80=99d like.

So if we have, say, a Mac Mini plus an arm and amd system capable of =
virtualizing Linux, BSD, etc., perhaps we=E2=80=99d be able to get the =
coverage we need and host the results in a self-hosted Woodpecker =
service?

As I say, I=E2=80=99ve just started to kind of cast about for =
alternatives, so don=E2=80=99t know a lot about it myself, but on the =
surface it looks promising.

Best,

David
