I tried to create a zipfile with gitlabs CI/CD but it failed. Why ? Not because I did something wrong, but because it needs verification by sms which is not working 99% of the time and does not tell the user why it failed. I got lucky once and managed to get the sms check done after a lot of trials. It is like a lottery. Now they want a credit card verification. This happens to people who they consider high risk users. Thank you, but no thank you.
I will abandon this service and will move to some different one in the near future.
I tried with github and had no problems with the CI/CD so far. There are Gitea and OneDev still to test.
