For anyone interested, I'm providing FreeBSD CI services on sr.ht. We use it to test wlroots[0].

https://builds.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/job/9348

I'm also working on OpenBSD and NetBSD, other kernels, and non-x86 architectures. If anyone is interested in using this to make their software more portable, please let me know! Email in my profile.

TravisCI has been asked repeatedly to provide FreeBSD as a build OS, and it doesn’t appear they’re interested in expanding beyond Linux/macOS on x86:

* https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/1818 * https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/6671 * https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/5473

Do you plan on providing Github integration? Providing other OSes and platforms (e.g. ARM64, ppc64el) would be really useful for testing low-level projects like .NET Core runtime, node.js / libuv, etc., and integrating with Github would make it really easy for people to start adding this to their existing projects.

If you do end up providing Github integration, consider listing a paid option for your service in the Github marketplace: https://github.com/marketplace/category/continuous-integrati...


I already provide Github integration, but it's not very polished. That's how wlroots gets built, for example:

https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/pull/1341

(click "show all checks")

I may add it to the marketplace once it's open for public registration and more polished.


Are these services free?

We currently test Rust under qemu-system for FreeBSD and have no real good solution for OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD. It would be very interesting for us to do "native" testing.


They are currently free (and invite-only) but will soon be paid. I plan on letting users pick their price between $2, $5, and $10 per month, and all price points will have access to all features.

If you'd like an invite, feel free to reach out - sir@cmpwn.com
