Any recommendations on good open source CI / CDs? Right now I just use github actions, but am interested in other self hosted options.

CD-wise I've had a decent experience with gocd.

Definitely look at Jenkins. You can do pretty much whatever you want with it (not always a good thing though of course, use responsibly)

Jenkins is powerful and painfully complex. You might need that complexity for large projects but personally I've found it to be so frustrating to set up simple stuff.

GitLab CI is nice, if you're comfortable with GitHub as your primary remote, it's easy enough to set up a secondary remote (and have most git actions duplex to both).

Also take a look at Drone CI, it's in good hands now.

It’s a difficult space.

As long as you are looking for “free and someone else maintains it” you are going to be hopping services regularly to stay on something that has VC money to burn for goodwill.

If you host it yourself you either have a maintenance headache or a shortage of features.

Depends what your time is worth really; I use buildkite with runners on AWS for work, and it doesn’t suck.

For personal stuff it’s harder to pick.

I have had good experiences with Concourse CI, especially for trunk-based development

I also moved from Travis CI to GitHub Actions and was pleased with the results. It wasn't mentioned in the article, but GitHub Actions is free for both public and private repos. To my knowledge, Travis CI was never free for private repos.
