I was going to say that I’d be happy to run a local Mac mini to be a runner but I noticed that Forgejo runners are only built for Linux.

It seems like to be a serious CI platform they really need to change Windows and Mac binaries for runners so you can build for those platforms.

And this is more of a Forgejo issue than a Codeberg issue specifically.

But also, I’d also throw out there the idea that CI doesn’t have to be at the same website as your source control. It’s nice that GitHub actions are conveniently part of the product but it’s not even really the top CI system out there.

Forgejo is committed to using exclusively Free Software for it's own project development. Windows and Mac versions of the Forgejo Runner are built in the project's CI system as a minimal check to ensure platform compatibility, but due to the project's commitment, the project doesn't do integration testing on these platform. And therefore doesn't distribute untested software.

A contributor maintains a tested re-release of Forgejo Runner for Windows: https://github.com/Crown0815/Forgejo-runner-windows-builder

But, pull it down and build it, and it will work.
