Fair, but I definitely wasn't trolling, and I really appreciate your comment. 2 days ago I told myself I'd set up gitea actions after experimenting with drone, buildbot, earthly, and Jenkins and not being fully satisfied with any (Jenkins feels old and runners were annoying to set up, buildbot was too involved and didnt have a ui, and I couldn't find an execution environment for earthly to run in on git push).
Personally, I put more weight in real-world complaints than issue trackers. For example, everyone I know that uses OBS has never had a single complaint, yet there are 400 open issues. I was looking for an example of what real users run into and I just couldn't find that looking at the 11-month old hn article or reddit. Based on your comment, I will keep that in mind and bail at the first sign of frustrating behavior.
I guess I'll give my opinion here for anyone who's looking for CI or CD. Earthly is a really cool CI tool, but as far as I know, it doesn't have an actual run component. Think of it like make for the docker era, and it does that very well. Drone is cool, but it runs in docker, so trying to build docker images with earthly (also runs in docker) is a pain unless you mount your docker sock, which I don't want to do. Jenkins is the most functional and handles all use cases. There's a reason it's still so huge in the self-hosted world.
