> Thanks for the warning, are there any good tools that integrate with pull request checks that can be self hosted?

Recently at work we've done an analysis of a of CI/CD tools. Many of them are self-hosted, free (and open source) and support a variety of workflows - including pull request related checks (either by polling of via webhooks). A cursory search will yield you a lot to play with, so... go ahead and do that.

That said, if you don't want to think about it too much, you can't go wrong with Jenkins.

Some people will suggest GitLab. I'd steer clear of GitLab, though, because of their operational incompetence [1] and their funny ideas about mandatory corporate espionage [2] - I mean, telemetry - which they only backed away from because people yelled at them. That second one was enough to disqualify them in our analysis (the first one just cemented the idea).

Gitlab CI is great if you need only one pipeline to execute per branch.

As soon as you need multiple pipelines per branch it doesn’t work well.

Most small projects need only one pipeline and are well suited. Other things like terraform needing multiple pipelines for multiple environments are better suited for a CI platform that handles multiple pipelines.

It seems like their gitlab.com uptime isn't that relevant when the question was about self-hosted CI. And while I don't like the idea of telemetry in self-hosted products either, calling it "corporate espionage" is hyperbole and I don't know how much more one could expect from their response other than apologizing and backtracking.
