Gitlab CI with some remote runners on a VPS that I already have (so I can keep myself on the free tier). Works perfectly.

If you don't mind my asking, how much setup did you have to do on the remote runners? And/or how much time do you find you have to spend on ongoing maintenance on those runners? Have they been fire-and-forget other than occasionally doing a `docker pull` to update them, or have you needed to fiddle with them every other week?
I've installed once via CentOS package manager and upgrading is just a command line away.

Setting up is also a straight forward command line. I rarely have to worry about it.

As you said, pretty much fire-and-forget.
