dish [Fox/It/She] | just my thoughts to be clear, not trying to speak for anyone else | 15:56:51 |
emily | GHA is already load-bearing for many more things than ofborg | 16:10:13 |
emily | we already have migration pain there if we wanted to stop using it, might as well benefit from it | 16:10:43 |
Janne | That would be great | 16:19:33 |

mynacol | For non-foundation use you can always just throw https://github.com/Defelo/nixpkgs-review-gha at a PR and also run nixos tests, just like with local nixpkgs-review. If individuals use it, this should be very much fine for Github, but is not feasible for running automatically on PRs by the NixOS org (except they get enterprise plan sponsored, I hear). | 22:32:33 |
gabyx | ah nice: but not sure I quite understand that tool, this repo is a GHA setup which runs nixpkgs-review.
So you can trigger this repo's action (how?) and it will pull the PR, and build the attribute on all platforms? | 22:38:36 |
mynacol | Read the readme :). It explains how you can run it. And just try it.
I found it a month ago and think it's ingenious. | 22:43:32 |
gabyx | Jeah I probably got the answer. | 22:43:52 |
gabyx | Its certainly good, also ingenious would be: a local tool which runs on qemu VMs, such that you dont need to debug stupid GHA yaml etc... | 22:50:11 |

Arian | We at work have a pretty neat self-hosted gha cluster that spawns up isolated NixOS vms for each job in seconds. But it is AWS based so it'll cost money :').
But for us it's a major money saver. We undercut GitHub enterprise pricing massively and we get fancy servers that are actually ... Fast | 12:27:49 |

gabyx | Any body has a similar setup with Gitlab Runners? | 15:13:03 |
hexa | that will end you up in docker | 15:26:26 |
