Have a look at https://nix-ci.com Nix and CI are a match made in heaven :)

NixCI does this but with a built-in cache ;) https://nix-ci.com/comparison/github-actions
Re:Garnix Is Joining Shopify on Friday July 10, 2026 @12:42PM (#48862306)
Garnix has as good as no vendor lock-in (awesome!) and NixCI (https://nix-ci.com) is almost a drop-in replacement so at least migrating is super easy.

Congrats to the team!

To all Garnix users: NixCI is very similar so I'd like to welcome you to try it out.

Demo: https://nix-ci.com/demo

Comparison: https://nix-ci.com/comparison/garnix

Yes definitely. Get in touch so we can make it happen. I need an example use-case to get it working.

Re:Why I love NixOS on Sunday March 22, 2026 @03:02PM (#47480883)
This is exactly why I made https://nix-ci.com/ And it supports Forgejo, GitHub, and GitLab.

Author here: NixCI (https://nix-ci.com) is not open-source. https://github.com/srid/nixci has been replaced by om ci: https://omnix.page/om/ci.html
Re:The purpose of Continuous Integration is to fail on Thursday March 12, 2026 @11:19AM (#47351981)
Then the test is still flaky. If there's a bug you want the test to consistently fail, not just sometimes.

Hey, author here: I completely agree, that's why I also haven't used those strange colours for https://nix-ci.com. I just thought they would make for a cool visual representation of the point of the blog post.
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025) on Monday December 15, 2025 @12:17PM (#46277332)
https://nix-ci.com

What if CI didn't have to involve any configuration, could run in 30sec instead of 30min, and would be reproducible locally?

Re:Using Radicle CI on Wednesday July 23, 2025 @01:28PM (#44661737)
nix-ci.com is built with this as one of the two central features. The other is that it figures out what to do by itself; you don't have to write any YAML.
Re:I'll think twice before using GitHub Actions again on Monday January 20, 2025 @06:32PM (#42774461)
https://nix-ci.com does this by construction.
Re:Frustration Tolerance: An Essential for Surviving Large Orgs on Monday January 20, 2025 @01:48PM (#42771751)
Having an organisation of highly-frustration-tollerant people is a great way of getting an organisation where nothing ever gets fixed.

Finally someone who (correctly) argues that there aren't too many String types.

In Haskell we use autodocodec for this.
