Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] ci: facilitate dev to mimic a CI environment

From: Stavros Ntentos <[email-masked]>

While trying to mimic a CI environment (to be able to
locally run tests in isolation), I didn't find enough
instructions how to do so - even though the project has CI set up.

Attempt to bridge the gap, by providing a starting/discussion point.

Leave instructions for people that want to
run a ci-like isolated environment locally.
