This site isn't loading for me, but the concept of continuous integration is something that needs more open source tools. Some one should do a survey of all the companies and how close they come to 1 click CI. I'm guessing most people have at least 3 or 4 manual steps in their deployment processes.

If anybody is using this and can share their experience, I would love to hear it. As far as I can tell the only other significant self-hosted CI project is Jenkins, and I'm interested in alternatives.

Drone.io[0] is available to run self-hosted. https://github.com/drone/drone

If you want to self-host the agent (solves the sharing code problem) then Buildbox[0] is a very impressive tool.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm curious as to the need for self-hosted - do hosted services not work for you? [Disclaimer: I work at https://circleci.com , a competitor]

I think for many keeping source-code locked down is important. One could argue that i.e. this/Travis/you is better at security then the average software company [it's probably true!]. But I still think many are more comfortable with keeping the source-code under their control. Doing something like Github Enterprise for a reasonable price shouldn't be too difficult, I'd wager.

Ditto -- like the other respondent to this comment, our company has avoided solutions like Travis to keep our enterprise software source code closed. CircleCI's breach about a year ago was a little scary...

The website isn't loading for me. I see a YouTube video load in the bottom left corner, but then it disappears and I see nothing.

Please try the Github page instead, which stridercd.com should really be redirecting to anyway: https://github.com/Strider-CD/strider

I did a presentation on Strider at the Full Stack Toronto conference this weekend. Here are the slides https://github.com/bitwit/fsto-cd-slides

Personally I'm pro-strider because self hosting is cheaper than most hosted solutions and its a great way to learn and get started with CD. I think the barrier to starting CD is too high and its mainly a misconception of difficulty. Strider is a great way to just get started; you can even try locally with a simple 'npm install -g strider'

I use circleci every day. My test suite is pretty big so I run them with 12x parallel and it takes about 5-8 minutes. On peak hour I almost always have failing tests because something on circleci's end segfaults. This is why I'm considering something self-hosted, it's an annoying problem to have to restart tests 1-3 times to get them to pass...
