Actions, as I get use them for free really seem irreplaceable. See, I only have one project where this actually matters (and help maintain another), but: I get to test on mac and Windows, both ARM and x64, for free. Then, with a one line import, I can use Linux+QEMU to test a bunch of other architectures. Adding a couple other deps, I can have VMs to test: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, illumos, Solaris… the list goes on. And thanks to other providers I now also get RISC-V, IBM Z and Power runners for free. So, yeah, for the other projects, I could have CI on a self-hosted Forgejo instance. I could also run tests on my dev machine before commiting and get 95% or the same benefit. The value in CI is that it can run tests that are inconvenient to run locally. |
