<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 team and with only community support: <a href="https://www.appveyor.com/self-hosted/" target="_blank">https://www.appveyor.com/self-hosted/</a></p>

<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>

<div>On the infrastructure side, there seems to be interest in Windows based CI. See current thread on [Qgis-psc] Direct push forbidden to master. However, I'm not 100% sure how this relates to a previous discussion from 2018 in the thread [QGIS-Developer] Windows compilation infrastructure.</div>
