Harness

Harness Open Source is an end-to-end developer platform that unifies source code management, CI/CD pipelines, hosted development environments, and artifact registries into a single, integrated solution. As the evolution of the popular Drone CI project, Harness has expanded beyond continuous integration to provide engineering teams with a comprehensive DevOps platform that rivals GitHub, GitLab, and Jenkins while remaining fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license. Trusted by developers worldwide with over 33,000 GitHub stars, Harness delivers enterprise-grade software delivery capabilities without vendor lock-in or licensing costs.

Common Use Cases

Development Teams: Accelerate code delivery with automated build, test, and deployment pipelines that integrate seamlessly with your Git workflows. Use Gitspaces to provide developers with consistent, pre-configured environments that eliminate setup time and configuration drift. DevOps Engineers: Centralize artifact management across Docker images, Helm charts, and custom packages while leveraging upstream repository proxying for dependency management. Implement quality gates, branch protection, and automated security scanning to enforce compliance. Platform Teams: Migrate existing CI/CD workflows with one-click importers from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, or CircleCI. Deploy custom integrations using the extensible plugin architecture and share them with the community. Open Source Projects: Host repositories with built-in code review, webhooks, and PR automation while maintaining full control over your infrastructure and data security.

Why deploy Harness on Hostinger VPS

Deploying Harness on Hostinger VPS gives you complete control over your entire software delivery infrastructure while eliminating the constraints and costs of SaaS CI/CD platforms. With dedicated CPU and memory resources, your pipelines run faster without throttling or queue delays common in shared cloud services. You maintain full ownership of your source code, artifacts, and build data, ensuring compliance with data residency requirements and eliminating vendor lock-in. The Docker socket integration enables powerful containerized workflows with access to the full Docker API. VPS deployment allows unlimited build minutes, artifact storage, and team members without per-seat pricing or usage caps. For teams building microservices, managing multiple projects, or requiring on-premises DevOps capabilities, self-hosted Harness on VPS delivers enterprise-grade CI/CD with the performance, security, and cost predictability that cloud-based alternatives cannot match.
