DSCI is simple yet super flexible pipeline engine to write CI code on regular programming languages, integrates with Forgejo using web hooks. Intended for small teams hosting Forgejo on single VM VPS and willing to create pipelines on regular programming languages
It allows the CI engine to determine which jobs to start, what their steps are etc.
To be fair I have worked on one project that had very complex CI and we almost decided to generate the CI graph procedurally with a Python script (Gitlab supports this, somewhat awkwardly). But in the end we decided it wouldn’t be worth the overhead of writing, maintaining and learning a whole new CI system on top of Gitlab’s CI.
The issues you had just proves that YAML based CI approach always leads to troubles with time. And yeah, I have been there, code generators for YAML. Hundreds of lines for YAML pipelines, etc ))
Yep, like a said , I don’t mind to have such a configuration inside YAML, but this should NOT be pipeline code itself )
