We don't have existing CI infra (or any other infra). Do we bootstrap using existing stuff people have, or create fresh on co-op infra?

I have a couple of scaleway instances working as nix remote builders, if we decide to anything using nix :) I also did briefly have a forgejo runner working against codeberg, which didn't seem too painful to set-up. Obviously we wouldn't/couldn't host on codeberg (open-source stuff only), but maybe wouldn't be hard to point stuff at this instance?

Assuming nix is probably in your "too mad" category, did you have a specific tech in mind for doing CI/CD for infra? It's not something I'm huge familiar with outside the nix world. 10,000 lines of YAML?

Not opposed to Nix, though unsure if I'd want to standardise on it :)

Sort of imagine that the "right" thing will flow from what we use as a git forge, so "whatever forgejo does" or something.

TBH, perhaps the question is more - "what is the minimum that someone starts from to bootstrap?"
