Will We use a mac mini here for the CI server, is that portable enough? Not cheap, but very flexible.

William Madden <mailto:[email protected]> 31 October 2012 10:56 AM Hey guys,I need a CI server. I've been thinking about this for a little while and I'm leaning towards hosting my own CI server rather than using somebody else's service - primarily because I don't want to pay someone else for something I can maintain and because they tend to be slow. With regard to maintaining my own CI server, here are the conclusions I've come to:1. Headless servers are extremely frustrating to debug * I want to be able to plug in a screen to set everything up, and to debug it when it (inevitably) breaks 2. Remote servers tend to be slow * E.g. Amazon EC2 * Also they cost money I don't have 3. Maintaining my own hardware is fine, but I'm going to be travelling between countries a lot in the next few months and I need to be able to take it with me * So smaller is betterMy app is pretty straightforward, a Rails server and HTML/JS frontend tested with RSpec, Jasmine and Cucumber. Running the full suite of tests takes about 2 minutes on my MBP.I've been thinking about getting a mini-pc/nettop/<stupid sales term for "small computer">. Anybody have any recommendations - either for small portable hardware or for a hosted service that will perform adequately and not cost too much?Cheers, Will --You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
