Please elaborate -- do you object to Jenkins (as a tool, specifically), CI/CD, or some other aspect (added complexity, etc.)?

- pnako 7y agoI like Jenkins. Some criticisms of Jenkins I'm aware of (and some I share): * The UI is a bit ugly * Plugins are a minefield. Some are excellent, others are undocumented and unmaintained. The UI treats them equally so it's easy to install a bunch of bad plugins. * It doesn't have a good security track record. But it's extremely popular as a self-hosted/corporate/behind the firewall solution because: * It's extremely flexible. * It can be self-administered by developers; they can get "root-like" privileges, with all configuration set from the web GUI. * And of course it's free software It's easy for an admin to deploy Jenkins, set some basic authentication / security, and then let developers do whatever they want with it.
