   Following #16582 and #16623, there are some potential improvements that could be made to the new CI setup:

   • It’d be handy if the Docker containers were named. amd64_qt is more useful than peaceful_rubin once there are a bunch floating around. Done in #18081.
   • Maybe we could stop (although not destroy) containers automatically after successful completion of the tests?
   • The ci is generally assuming the the folder is a fresh git clone. If needed, that can be changed later on, but better not part of this pull.

   When running locally any previous in-tree build artifacts are passed into the ci system. Instead of choking on them, the ci system should run make distclean if such artifacts exist.

   Is this issue still relevant after what I understand to be a switch from Travis CI to Cirrus CI? I’m a first-time contributor and would like to work on this issue if it’s still of use.
