+1 for no CI system lock-in.

I'd love to see the complete set of commands you run to set up those. I've never worked with them. :)

Probably outside of the scope here mainly because I use different tools in different places :) For vm's on my main 'home' server, I use uvt-kvm, because I can do:

uvt-kvm create --memory 4096 --disk 30 rust release=jammy arch=amd64 --cpu 4 --run-script-once firstboot

For containers on my 'home' server I generally do

lxc-create -t download -n shadow -- -d ubuntu -r jammy - a amd64
lxc-start -n shadow
lxc-attach -n shadow -- << EOF
wget https://gisturl
./gist
EOF

In other environments I use lxd for both containers and vms. Those use cloud-init to specify a firstboot script.

Note that containers for shadow testsuite can be a problem as the testsuite uses a wide uid allocation.
