Hi all,

I want to introduce Jira and Perforce for my personal projects at home. The question I have is about infrastructure. How do you setup your personal production environment? Do you have an own server at home that hosts source control and project management, do you use a rented server or does this all run on your (main) development machine?

Any suggestions are highly appreciated. :)

Regards, Alex

It depends... ... If you want to keep your projects private and possibly do some freelancing, I would strongly recommend a paid hosted solution, like projectlocker.com, or similar one, including at least version control + issue tracker + wiki. You will focus o your work, released of backup and maintenance tasks.

... If you don't care to manage your on server and do the backups, then I would recommend Jira $10 + GIT or Subversion.

... If you plan to share it or make it opensource, look for something like github.com

While perforce is great, svn/git are more than OK, free, and widely supported.
