Any suggestions for a self-hosted CI that can also be run locally? (programming.dev)

I left Github a while ago and have been relying on simple pre-push scripts in my workflow, but would like to be able to test PRs from others without putting my machine at risk. Besides codeberg and radicle (neither of which have reliable CI), I also have a build machine, where I could run CI jobs, however it is important that the CI jobs can also run locally so that external people do not require access to the build machine.

Is there a CI that can do those things (run locally and remotely)?

I don't think that's accurate, the post is from seven years ago. Additionally there are a lot of materials online that indicate your still can - https://virtualizare.net/devops/how-to-run-gitlab-runner-locally-best-practices.html

I think there is a misunderstanding, what running locally means.
You can run a gitlab runner on your local machine, but it needs to pulls it's jobs from git. It also requires gitlab to register your runner, so it can't really work for new contributors to use themselves.

Ahh, I see what you mean.

At that point I feel like you may as well just use makefiles. Did that at an old company, it had params for local deployment testing vs CICD. This also let's you define how you break the local deployment tests, as usually you can't really fully test a CICD locally.
