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 set up Forgejo with Woodpecker CI some days ago and it's been great so far

Are you able to run woodpecker locally from the repository? As in can woodpecker run in the checked out repository run the CI jobs?

It also has a CLI tool that I know can re-run your pipeline locally for debugging, so just running it normally should also be possible. Haven't used either so far though.

I can't find documentation about that unfortunately 🧐 There's woodpecker-cli exec but after testing that on the example pipeline, it does nothing even with verbose logging.

Do you have a functional example somewhere?
