Continuous Integration Hosting for Open Source projects

Question

Hi all,

I would like to integrate continuous integration with my projects. My projects are currently up on github.

Any ideas what I can use to provide hosted continuous integration? I know Cruise Control and Hudson are ideal candidates as well as Bamboo. I just need to document it and have paper work for that.

Thanks,

Walter

Answer 1

I use CC.Net, but the non .Net version works for Java and supports git : http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/ (or so the website says)

Answer 2

I don't know about hosting itself, but i am using amazon cloud for that, integrated with Atlassian Jira Studio

Answer 3

Hudson hands down the best Java based CI tool. It nicely supports maven among other functions. Its open source and supports plugin creation, so for instance you can run findbugs against your code and there is a plugin which it will visually display the findings.

Answer 4

If you're looking for a host just for your CI, you might want to look into Atlassian's Jira Studio. It's not free, and it has a significant overlap with what github gives you, but Atlassian make some very nice tools.

Answer 5

I am running Hudson locally which works, but is slightly less than desirable. Since I am the only contributor it doesn't matter if the server is offline while I sleep.
