Thinking about recreating my common Homelab CI pattern to use prefixed PR labels to pick available actions-jobs/ansible-task to run.
It would then let some decoupling happen from automatic digest updates with intentional actions. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing yet but it'll be something to explore. Renovate could also merge things like Git submodules and Forgejo packages without triggering Ansible host runs.
Existing solution is rigid in predefined tasks in the action job YML. Worked great to get things initially into IaC. Now the constant digest updates and small changes across so many little mini hosts is causing kind of a bit of churn on external hosts. Should work to reduce this through more mirroring and caching for quick gains.
