   I'd like to trial Gitea Actions for deploying my blog on push, but all the instructions I find are very "draw the rest of the fucking owl"

     It's done 😭 I've replaced my .drone.yml with a Gitea Actions file.

     It uses a custom Docker container that has Sass, Pelican, and some deploy-related programs pre-installed. It manually checks out the repository (can't use actions/checkout because I'm using an Alpine base image) and builds the files for distribution.

     7 of the 10 steps are just for rsyncing the files to my web hosts using dsh.

     Final tally is 40 commits. I've also switched to using the Gitea Container Registry, so I can replace both the Docker Container Registry and Drone CI with Gitea-delivered stuff.

     This is… probably still over-engineered, but less than it was before, and I still get the convenience of pushing to the repo to deploy my site.

     All in all, a really good Transgender Day of Version Control.

     @annika the obvious pelican/“rest of the owl” joke demands to be pointed at (with no specific suggestion of further content)

     (“all commit messages must contain bird puns” as precommit hook?)
