Jenkins

★ 24k

The extendable automation server with thousands of plugins for any build or deploy pipeline.

Jenkins does the job of CircleCI, self-hosted. It is MIT-licensed, so you can do essentially what you like with it, and setting it up is an afternoon, not a weekend. CircleCI bills $30+ for it. 24k stars on GitHub.
