I usually run VMs using Digital Ocean(referall link), but that gets a little expensive once you get more than a few running. There were quite a few services that I wanted to get setup and play around with, but I didn’t want a $100 monthly bill. I’ve been wanting to build a home server for a while but didn’t have a concrete reason to actually pull the trigger. But with my recent projects, like XeOSC and GoAtLight, I wanted to have a proper build server and CI setup so releasing them wouldn’t be a pain in the ass.
