    <p>Hi Andreas,</p>
    <p>It would certainly be an option. And there are others as well
      (like good old Jenkins for example).<br>
    </p>
    <p>Are you asking for self-hosted because of performance or for
      other reasons? I think in the past there was a shift towards
      outsourcing such things to external services that do this as their
      core business instead of having to manage infrastructure on our
      own (e.g. github, travis).</p>
    <p>As mentioned before, I think someone will need to invest some
      real time to exploring possibilities and limitations to be able to
      come forward with a good plan of action. I think it would be good
      to have a week of time to test different options.<br>
    </p>

      <p>Hi Matthias,</p>
      <p>Would it be an option to "self-host" appveyor at our own (to be
        ordered) Hetzner Windows machine?</p>
      <p>I see that Appveyor offers a self-hosted version, free for one

            <p>Hi Andreas,</p>
            <p>Yes, I remember this. I also invested some time into
              AppVeyor back then and the timeouts.</p>
            <p>Finding a reliable solution and exploring possibilities
              will be an investment in itself already. I think that with
              a good financial situation, it's also a good possibility
              for the project to invest into such an area with a
              potentially great benefit. But it's ultimately the PSC's
              decision if the project prefers to sponsor this work or
              hope for it to happen and outsource the work and risks.</p>

              <p>Hi,</p>
              <p>The Windows CI thing would be worth-wile to invest it.
                But I think we already had it in the past and because of
                a lot of problems (e.g. timeouts when building, etc.) we
                stopped using it. I know that we definitely paid for
                such a service in the past. It was called "Appveyor"
                back then. Nyall might know more about it. I think he
                paid for it upfront and then I reimbursed him. That was
                in 2016.</p>
              <p>I think we would first have to find a reliable solution
                for Windows CI before investing into it.</p>
