We built Activepieces to replace Zapier + learnings from last post
What differentiates this from things like n8n, node red, and stackstorm? (which sort of occupy a zapier replacement, IoT automation, and infra automation niche, respectively)

Event-driven Ansible looks awsome
Very cool! This reminds me of some of the event-driven automation tools like Stackstorm, letting you define triggers/events to subscribe to, and then take actions based on a defined rule set.

Workflow automation for smaller use-cases
Closest in the Python world is Stackstorm (massive overkill for a desktop use-case, Linux only), or Dagster (great for data processing, not designed for admin tasks).
-
Orchestrator self hosted
Node-Red or https://stackstorm.com? Stackstorm seems more geared towards infrastructure whereas Node-Red is more geared towards IOT. Stackstorm also has a web UI, just have to install it separately.

Is idempotence (also) managed server-side?
I have played with StackStorm a little bit, and it could also do what you describe... but it may or may not be over-engineered for your use-case.

What are some good self-hosted CI/CD tools where pipeline steps run in docker containers?
Drone, or Tekton, Argo Workflows if you’re on k8s
-
job scheduling for scientific computing on k8s?
Check out Argo Workflows.
-
Which build system do you use?
go-git has a lot of bugs and is not actively maintained. The bug even affects Argo Workflow, which caused our data pipeline to fail unexpectedly (reference: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/issues/10091)
-
Cron alternative that can run a job every two weeks without convoluted tricks
Yea... I personally like the jobber format which is similar to argo workflows ( https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/blob/master/examples/coinflip.yaml ) which can get triggered by an event which can look like cron ( https://argoproj.github.io/argo-workflows/cron-workflows/ ).

Why can't I label Argo Workflows workflow-controller-metrics service for Prometheus to scrape? Everything works in some cases but fails in most

Kubernetes was never designed for batch jobs
There's also Argo Workflows: https://argoproj.github.io/argo-workflows/

Which software should I use for my use case ?
I would second considering Argo Workflows
-
Why migrate to GitHub from Jenkins?
If you need a metric boatload of flexibility and have a Kubernetes cluster, argo workflows and tekton can do jobs for you as needed.
