I would use a self-hosted runner for that [1]. You can setup the SDK in that machine and it will be available for any jobs that end up running there.

Depending on your requirements/scale the runner(s) can be a VM in your main machine, a cheapo dedicated server (hetzner/ovh) or even autoscaled hotspot instances in your preferred cloud.

It is less pure than using GH's runners and having an end-to-end setup/teardown for your whole toolchain, but it would work just fine. Definitely better than without any CI.

In practice, this is what I’m doing with Jenkins. But my point is that all of these container-first CI solutions lack relevancy for my team.
