    Why avoid the shell executor on docker? I did 4years of gitlab back a bit ago. It was super simple. But I haven’t kept up since work maintains actions and Travis. And there’s a way nowadays to inject the env or pull from a secret server-ish.

    All ci is basically the same. Or at least for a while.

    Circleci, Travis, and gitlab all allow you to ssh into the box you are trying your scripts on and fix it there. Much easier and takes a lot less time. Github actions have an unofficial way of doing it and is…not the best. Actions is actually one of the worst CIs I’m my experience.

    I have a tiny php library for a somewhat popular framework. It was made so a company could protect a very old database and certain tables. It started as a one off 9 years ago. It was one php file of less than 50 lines.

    As of this month it has been downloaded 2 million times. I still can’t believe its been used this much. And I’m the only maintainer. If I wanted to I could ruin a lot of peoples days. But I won’t.

    In a couple of decades, we are going to have large swaths of code that will outlive its creators being used on essential infrastructure.
