> Why do I need a custom token? Because without it, the release completes, but doesn't trigger our post-release workflow.
This is so frustrating. Having to inject a PAT into the workflow just so it will kick off another workflow is not only annoying but it just feels wrong. Also not lots of operations are tied to my user which I don't like.
> It doesn't help that you can't really try any of this locally (I know of [act](https://github.com/nektos/act) but it only supports a small subset of the things you're trying to do in CI).
This is the biggest issue with GH Actions (and most CIs), testing your flows locally is hard if not impossible
All that said I think I prefer GH Actions over everything else I've used (Jenkins and GitLab), it just still has major shortcomings.
I highly recommend you use custom runners. The speed increase and cost savings are significant. I use WarpBuild [0] and have been very happy with them. I always look at alternatives when they are mentioned but I don't think I've found another service that provides macOS runners.

Gitea
Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD
As mentioned in the last post, I keep my notes in git repositories. I originally used Obsidian for years as my note-taking application of choice after migrating away from Google Keep, using the vast library of community plugins (namely obsidian-livesync and obsidian-git) to back up and sync my notes on an interval to my 3 remotes; GitHub, my private Gitea instance for my private "second brain" type notes, and my Otterwiki instance (a wiki that runs on a git server of markdown files).

The testing framework supports both unit and integration tests. It handles unit tests by creating a deployment plan and running the tests against that plan. While Terraform's testing framework allows you to validate basic properties, you may need to write more advanced tests to verify your virtual machines are set up correctly. You can create advanced tests using open source testing tools like Terratest and Kitchen-Terraform.
