Accelerating the deployment of NestJS and Angular using public Github runners and creating intermediate Docker images
At the beginning of writing this post, I planned to use a cool tool to run Github actions locally https://github.com/nektos/act and I was able to successfully launch the construction and launch of the entire project locally through it, but for this I had to allocate a larger amount of memory and processor, as a result of https://github.com/nektos/act I had to give up and write a small Bash script to build images.

How to debug GitHub actions. Real-world example
When it comes to the alternatives to tmate, there is another great debugging tool that you could check out. It is called act and it allows you to run GitHub Actions code on your local machine making debugging even easier. It has its own limitations and some learning curve but overall it is another tool you should use if you can’t fix the CI bugs by connecting directly into the running action with the tmate.
