I’m trying to migrate my personal repos from GitHub to Codeberg. The biggest challenge is to find a replacement for GitHub Actions (the free offering is so generous), and my current solution for that is to self-host an instance of Woodpecker CI [1].

I’d like to see even more diversity in Git hosting beyond “let’s all migrate from X to Y”, and for that to happen, Forgejo (the soft fork of Gitea that Codeberg runs) has already begun to implement federation [2], which can make cross-instance collaboration easier.

They (Gitea) introduced actions. It is already included in the current releases, but codeberg might just not activate it. It works quite good, I actually wrote a gitea action already ("gitea-release-drafter").

Glad to see new options. I wonder if Codeberg is going to enable actions, given that they’ve already setup an experimental instance of Woodpecker that can be requested [1] on a per-user basis.

Nice, perhaps is worth to invest into such kind of "fediverse" (using Codeberg with my own hosted action runners/boxes), I'd buy into that feature much faster than into any other (e.g. using Codeberg for PRs from proprietary hosted "Codeberg" instances).

There's also work on that ;) the dude doing most of the work moved to forgejo and some parts are already implemented but I'm not sure what the state is. I would also love to see federation, that's what would really be a github killer and drive this ecosystem forward imho.

SourceHut[1] has CI out of the box[2].

GitLab CI is pretty good.

I'm guessing it's this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35364146 although it didn't seem to get much traction other than the one comment that matches what I found while trying to read up on it:

https://github.com/Cicada-Software/cicada/blob/main/docs/ci-...

> create a file _anywhere in your repository_ ending in .ci

uh-huh

> Note that you cannot use the pipe operator (|) with the shell command, only one command can be executed at a time

uh-huh

> To make sure that your workflow works, try pushing to your repository

so, no local runner for this, either. fantastic.

So instead of using Starlark, which a non-trivial number of folks already know, there's already editor support for, and is obviously designed to be embedded, they decided that what the world needs is another DSL. Got it.
