**Ick** will be a continuous integration system. It is currently in
development, and will hopefully reach the first ALPHA release in the
not too distant future.
**Why yet another CI system?** Ick aims to become a system that's
**less hassle** to set up or operate or keep running than any other
publicly available self-hosted system, without compromising
correctness or security.
See [[origin|blog/2017/10/10/origin]] for a description of how ick got
started.
Manifesto
=============================================================================
Continuous integration (CI) is a powerful tool for software development.
It should not be tedious, fragile, or annoying. It should be quick and
simple to set up, and work quietly in the background unless there's a
problem in the code being built and tested.
A CI system should be simple, easy, clear, clean, scalable, fast,
comprehensible, transparent, reliable, and boost your productivity to
get things done. It should not be a lot of effort to set up, require a
lot of hardware just for the CI, need frequent attention for it to
keep working, and developers should never have to wonder why something
isn't working.
A CI system should be flexible to suit your build and test needs. It
should support multiple types of workers, as far as CPU architecture
and operating system version are concerned.
Also, like all software, CI should be fully and completely free
software and your instance should be under your control.
(Ick is little of this yet, but it will try to become all of it. In
the best _possible_ taste.)
