Drone is a self-hosted alternative, although you still have to do some configuration:

https://github.com/drone/drone

We went from Drone -> CircleCI -> Jenkins in the last two years. Jenkins feel opaque and hard to reason about, periodically dies for no _good_ reason and the UI is atrocious.

Drone itself was fine, as a minimal feature set. I think the docs are offline now, but it's fairly straightforward.

You must be doing something wrong then. I run a Jenkins cluster with hundreds of automated pipeline build/deploy jobs and the master node never dies. (It's also the only node up and running 24/7) You should be offloading your work to build agents.

I’m certain there is a reason, we scaled up and hired an infra team that owns it so it’s out of my domain now.

I was merely a poor steward in the early days out of necessity. My era of tinkering ended once we moved to CircleCI.
