If you were to use the configuration as code plugin, you can bootstrap and manage Jenkins via Git. Using HashiCorp Vault, you can integrate it with the credentials plugin. I have yet to see a solution which is superior than Jenkins. Sure enough, other tools like GitLab seem to work better at a first glance using Docker for your build slaves. But I can do all of this with Jenkins as well and much more. Also the onboarding for developers looks nicer for GitLab on a first glance than for Jenkins. But later on you will start fighting triggers and yaml includes. But in my opinion Jenkins is far better in composing technologies to adapt to your organization’s structure. Just because Docker is right now all the rage should not mean that your CI system has to have a hard requirement for it.
