Ask HN: How long does it take to setup CI for a new project

I'm going with a process that should be able to

  Get sources from repository, update version numbers, label source / checkin to repo

  Build the application

  Run Unit tests with coverage

  Create coverage report

  Push the application to package manager

  Deploy application on webserver

  Email notification

If it is open source. It can be as low as 2 mins with travis-ci If it is on a in house setup. It may take close to half an hour (depending on the level of sophistication needed). I have successfully setup teamcity in about half hour (4 hosts total).

Yes, talking in house. You mean just the TeamCity install takes half an hour... then you have to add the tools steps etc,
