Web-Based Build Server

March 11th 2008, 10:12 am in Development, Web.

It surprises me that no-one offers a web-based build server – specify your source control connection details, set up a couple of tasks (build, test, report) and hit “go”. Is there some obvious problem with this idea that I’ve missed?

I want a build server but I don’t want to have to maintain the install or faff around with configs. I’ve tried TeamCity, which seemed ok, but the interface wasn’t great and it doesn’t support MbUnit.

I’ve started using Beanstalk for Subversion hosting, and it works very well indeed, so maybe that’s what’s got my thirst for web-bases apps going.

  3. At ProjectLocker, we do have a build product, BuildLocker. We support Linux and Windows remote builds using Ant, Maven, or MSBuild. We don’t directly support MBUnit, but if MSBuild can invoke MBUnit tasks and the necessary libraries are bundled in your project, I would think that you could run them. More information is available at http://www.projectlocker.com/site/build_locker. We also have a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try the service without risk.

    We also have Subversion hosting and Trac hosting if you need such services, with plans as low as $2.50/month.

    We’d love for you to try us and give us any feedback that can help us improve the service for users like yourself.
