The BIGASS self-hosted CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION comparison (Jenkins vs. GitLab CI vs. Buildbot vs. Drone vs. Concourse vs. …)

@serkandurusoy you’re a legend!

JENKINS

I spent another 2 hours trying to get jenkins to work and it is a mess!!! I feel like you can easily spend a full week setting it up (there are full video-tutorials on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68cDNUz7uro). Summary: Jenkins will NOT work for me.

BUILD TIME

My test-runs are actually REALLY long… I have a lot of chimp-based acceptance tests and a run can easily 4 hours (240 minutes). On CircleCi that would mean 6 full builds per month. Hmmmm… not a lot.

Next action

I could move my repository to a paid git account. 7 $ per month on github seams reasonable.
And then use travis 100 builds per month…

I’ll have a read (Integrating with Travis CI?) and let you know about the progress.

OR: does anyone know a bitbucket compatible plattform which has cheaper pricing?
