Not being able to run your CI locally seems like a bit of a pain in the ass. I always end up with these N commit chains to fix simple problems in github actions because I can't just launch it locally and fix things the easy way.
@dotstdy@wolfpld I run into a similar problem with gitlab runners. I sort of make it a requirement that I can ssh (or rdp to windows hosts), go to wherever it's building and fiddle with stuff locally until I have something that works.
@TTimo@wolfpld Yeah it's funny, one of the core advantages of containerization is you can just like, run a standard image on any machine. And yet so many of these systems don't really end up with turnkey "run this test suite locally in a VM/container" buttons.
@dotstdy@wolfpld sometimes I wonder if this sorry state of things happened because of the 'ops people' vs 'dev people' distinction. I feel like those container technologies and CI integrations where written by ops folks primarily.
