CI for your GitHub-Projects with CloudBees
If you have a (private) Java-Project on GitHub (or in some Subversion Repository) and you would like to setup some minimal Continuous Integration for it, CloudBees might be the right choice.
Just sign-up for a free account at:
http://www.cloudbees.com/
Make sure you have a public key for your GitHub account. If you are not so sure about this you can check things out here:
https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys
In your CloudBees account settings add this GitHub public key to your SSH Keys.
Basically this is all that is needed to get started by adding a new Jenkins-Build. Thanks to it Web-UI Jenkins is rather straightforward, but just in case you need some references:
http://jenkins-ci.org/
Took me roughly ten minutes to get my first build where the longest part was finding out the SSH Key stuff ;).
I have not yet tried it, but from the CloudBees applications it seems that you can also deploy you application for tests and use MongoDB or MySQL database instances for testing :).
