I'm completely ignorant in Jenkins regard, but does it do anything extra that Gitlab CI/Github Actions/Bitbucket Pipelines & co doesn't do?

- amerine 6y agoYou can buy Jenkins via capex vs depend on the internet and subscribe monthly on the other?
- tyingq 6y agoGitlab does have a self hosted option, though it is still a subscription.
- amirkdv 6y agoWorth noting that you don't have to self-host your GitLab instance to self-host your CI/CD runners. You can configure gitlab.com and use your own tightly controlled infrastructure for running CI/CD.
- jdripper 6y agoYou can self host Gitlab entirely, no subscription needed.
- tyingq 6y agoAgreed, though the paid plan might have more parity with whatever they were doing with Jenkins.
- dec0dedab0de 6y agoI haven't done much with the others, but I can't imagine there is much difference. Jenkins has a ton of plugins, but the biggest reason I would choose it over the ones you listed is so that you're not locked in to a specific provider. At work quite a few people were using gitlabCI, but recently corporate signed a deal with microsoft to use GitHub. So now everyone using gitlab ci is going to have to recreate their deployment process.
