Does anyone remember what our CI pipelines looked like before docker and cheap cloud services?
I hardly remember myself because when I began web development the whole team worked on the same code on a samba share and we had to shout into the room: "Is anyone working in foo.php right now?"
So no CI at all. But those who did it early, how did you do it? On bare metal I guess?
@alexanderschnitzler We had a bare metal server locally with VMWare ESXi as hostsystem. There we had a VM running Jenkin and several other VMs with different setups (e.g. PHP versions, Selenium, Selenium Grid). Worked quite good, but updating the components was always very painful and error prone.
@alexanderschnitzler We'll not CI, but a scripted deployment was established via Bamboo from Atlassian. It was a shell script executed in a virtual server.
The next agency also had Bamboo. And we executed everything on the bamboo server. Not sure how exactly we handled the different PHP versions …
