Enables a remote Gradle Build Cache, allowing build cache results to be shared between machines. This will be a significant improvement in build times on CI and locally, and in reducing the (currently overloaded) cache-usage of GitHub Actions.

Huge credit and thanks to @Kantis for providing a server!

Early preview

Please test out the remote build cache server by creating an init script:
$GRADLE_USER_HOME/init.d/kotest-build-cache.init.gradle.kts

(or if you don't have GRADLE_USER_HOME env var, in ~/.gradle/init.d/kotest-build-cache.init.gradle.kts)

gradle.settingsEvaluated {
   if (rootProject.name == "kotest") {
      buildCache {
         remote<HttpBuildCache> {
            if (url != null) {
               logger.warn("Kotest remote build cache is already configured. You might want to remove \$GRADLE_USER_HOME/init.d/kotest-build-cache.init.gradle.kts.")
            } else {
               logger.lifecycle("Configuring Kotest remote build cache 🚀")
               url = uri("https://kotest-gradle.duckdns.org/cache")
               isPush = false
            }
         }
      }
   }
}
