A comment on GitHub Actions Incident 29.3.

Once again, just two days ago [0], the whole of GitHub went down, after the RSA key leakage and the certificate key expiry on its user facing site.

It is also apparent that GitHub Actions has chronically been struggling to operate normally for at least a single month for years.

There is no question that GitHub has been more unreliable than if you were to use a self-hosted GitLab or Gittea instance yourself as I said before [1].

Gittea is great but it doesn't replace GHA, only the rest of GitHub.

Gitea + Woodpecker CI works pretty nicely.

They've actually just rolled out an early version of Gitea Actions in the most recent release, which are mostly compatible with GitHub actions.

Even better. A migration path with compatibility to a self-hostable alternative.
