These guides have historically been maintained by people like you running Third Party CI systems. Unfortunately, in recent years I don't think that any has been working to keep them up to date.

The Infra team did write a spec to provide guidance to anyone willing to help produce update documentation, https://specs.openstack.org/openstack-infra/infra-specs/specs/zuulv3-3rd-party-ci.html This isn't a guide itself though and instead documentation of what we think is needed to help guide volunteers on producing the documentation.

It would be excellent if the projects requiring third party CI helped to drive this work.

We don't have guides specific to third party CI but Zuul does have documentation for setting up a Zuul v3 CI system:

https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/admin/quick-start.html
https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/admin/zuul-from-scratch.html

I think the ideal here would be for someone (or some group) to work through setting up a Zuulv3 using Zuul's documentation and the infra spec as guidance then use that to produce an up to date guide on setting up third party CI systems.
