After some of the previous TOS changes, I finally found the motivation to move to a self-hosted CI on a VPS. I’ve been entirely satisfied since migrating, and it’s been a truly low touch experience. Not for everyone I’m sure but for the low cost of the VPS I’m getting my value out of it, certainly not proving to be a maintenance drain as I’d feared, just updating it on a CRON has served me well.
- schoen 6y agoAre there good tools to help with this for people who are used to a hosted CI and want to replicate some of its features? (I'm just curious, I'm not in that situation myself.) Or is the cloud/SaaS instinct so pervasive now that very few people are trying to do what you're doing?
- PebblesHD 6y agoIf you’re comfortable with AWS or any other VPS provider, there are Ansible and Docker flavours of most common tools. I’m a fan of Jenkins but the competition also offers some well defined pathways to get this going easily, and all of them offer a somewhat similar way to define builds automatically in code. My go-to is the github org scanner plugin that can watch for new repos with a Jenkinsfile, and will happily manage creating the automatic commit hooks if a new one is found giving you a very similar level of ‘magic’ integration to what the SaaS tools offer.
