Did Travis replace Jenkins?

Thanks for posting this. I'm looking to get any application and start deploying through a CI/CD process, to learn how this process works. Any application suggestions for a CI "Hello World"?

Only comment I would make is that you can use CircleCI instead of Travis to get for free running tests on private repos. The configuration is similar and the benefits as well.

or be willing to move vendor and re-implement the stuff.

For comparison my magic combination(and not all free or realistic for everyone):

  - gitlab
  - jenkins/looking into gl ci
  - linode/cloudafrica(ah-hah hosting is not free)
  - sentry is a tough one. We rolling a custom mqttwarn/zabbix solution
  - irc(fine I will take your slack and use the irc-bridge pfftt)

irc is fine but if you want an alternative, you can look into riot/matrix (irc bridge), mattermost, rocket chat, etc.

For hosting, I am looking to host my own server for fun and learning.

Have a look at gitlab ci[0], the quick start was easy. Got it working online and self-hosted.

Thanks for the tip - I just added a note about Circle CI to the article.

I really wanted to use Gitlab for my next side project, but Circle CI doesn't support them, and I really don't want to pay Travis for my shitty proj. Hopefully this changes some day soon.

GitHub and Travis are not self-hosted tools.

It would be nice to see a setup with something like Gitea[0] and/or Jenkins[1] edit and some other slack alternative like mattermost[2]

"Free hosted", not "self-hosted".
