I don’t know how Woodpecker works, but I have a lot of experience with Gitlab runners. You can startup a runner locally, as it doesn’t need to be publicly accessible from the internet. Only the Gitlab instance needs to be accessible for the runner, as the runner actively fetches new jobs from there and pushes the results again.

If Woodpecker works similarly, you could just deploy the runner locally while you’re actively developing and your computer is running anyway, if you don’t want to pay for a VPS.
