09/10/2021, 3:25 PMSo, I’ve been looking for a new CI solution - an open source alternative to Jenkins which I really don’t like using or managing.
Any recommendations?
(This is for work - Not releated to my open source StackStorm efforts. It’s not even directly pants-related as I don’t know of projects that could use pants at work. I ask here because people here have probably used lots of CI solutions)

09/10/2021, 3:25 PMKey things I’m looking for in CI:
• CI for build/test (not looking for a deploy tool),
• Open Source,
• On-Prem (I can use on-prem k8s clusters or VMs),
• Not written in Java (Go or Rust preferrable, Python is okay, I avoid Ruby, and Java is a hard pass),
• Integrates with github,
• CI Pipeline/Job definition store in git alongside the code it is testing (I prefer YAML)

We’re going to evaluate it here at work, soon-ish. Runs on kubernetes.

• For build pipelines, primarily
• Open source https://github.com/tektoncd
• On-prem k8s
• Written in Go
• There’s lots of tasks for integrating with stuff https://hub.tekton.dev/ (11 hits for github)
• The pipelines jobs are kubernetes manifests (YAML)

I’m very curious to hear how Tekton works for you 🙂

09/10/2021, 4:21 PMI've used buildbot the software but not the service. This was back in 2009. Solid.

09/10/2021, 4:25 PM@enough-analyst-54434 Yeah. I’m only looking at self-hosted. Did you use it as a developer? or did you manage the install?

09/10/2021, 4:32 PMIt was a tiny startup so both.

09/10/2021, 4:33 PMIt was the opposite of Jenkins. Very simple. Very non-buttony. COnfigure a file, start it up.

09/10/2021, 4:34 PMGood. I hate Jenkins (oops - I think my biases are slipping out…)

09/10/2021, 4:34 PMI did not need to extend modify, so not sure how that goes if you end up needing to.

09/10/2021, 4:34 PMAre the pipeline defs stored in the same git repo as the code under test?

09/10/2021, 4:36 PMI just finished installing Drone in k8s only to realize it is “souce available”. Very few parts of it are “open source” so I had to drop it.
