FreeBSD's CI is built using Jenkins: https://ci.freebsd.org also https://wiki.freebsd.org/Jenkins so it must be working fine with FreeBSD. I've been using Jenkins for number of years (not in *BSD world though) and I kind of like it despite somewhat trashy UI. My main complaint is that you can't have CI pipeline description/settings in file in version control (like in GitLab for instance) and have to set it up manually via web UI or API. Other than that it's fairly good system. -- gonzo
