if I remember correctly CircleCI is the only CI-provider that would let you run their pipelines/actions locally in a Docker container. That worked really well for me, quick feedback loop without creating commits.

Drone CI, too - you can "drone exec" a pipeline and it'll work the same way as on the CI server. It's a great feature to have.

I've resorted to running my own local copy of GL (and, of course, its runner) for troubleshooting build complexity, since their runner pool has been so indescribably bad of late: https://status.gitlab.com/pages/history/5b36dc6502d06804c083...

I agree with the other comments that CircleCI is my high-bar for "how can a sane person run the build locally?" because I also agree with the other comments that "act" is handy, but only for the most trivial of hello-world builds, and `gitlab-runner exec` is a cruel joke

Codeship does this too with their `jet` command.
