Harness Open Source: All-in-One Software Delivery Platform for Developers
harness.ioHello all, I lead the product and engineering for Harness Open Source (https://www.harness.io/open-source). With Harness Open Source, developers can configure their development environments, host code repositories, as well as build, test, deploy, and manage artifacts - all from a small DigitalOcean droplet or your own laptop and with a single docker command.
Harness Open Source is an alternative to GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, etc., and is the open source edition of Harness’ enterprise offering. The key capabilities include 1. Code Repository - you can create and share code in Git repositories, perform code reviews, and scan for vulnerabilities. 2. Cloud Development Environments - you can instantly launch preconfigured, remote, ready-to-use hosted development environments (Gitspaces) and code from anywhere using a web browser or your favorite IDE. 3. Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery - you can build, test, and deploy code faster with hundreds of reusable pipeline templates and integrations and 4. Artifact Registry - you can centralize and streamline software delivery pipelines, providing a single source of truth for software artifacts, including Docker images, Helm charts, and more.
Harness Open Source is meant to provide developers with the capabilities to seamlessly manage code from creation to release with the help of hundreds of supported plugins. Harness Open Source is the next iteration of Gitness (code hosting + CI/CD) and Drone (CI) and has over 32k stars on GitHub (https://github.com/harness/harness). Yes, you can host Harness Open Source within itself, but since GitHub is popular, we also hosted it there as well :) With its zero-friction Apache 2.0 licensing, we have designed Harness Open Source to be simple to install and use.
We will continue to add more awesome features to Harness Open Source and would love to hear your experiences, feedback, and ideas! Please join our community Slack channel (https://join.slack.com/t/harnesscommunity/shared_invite/zt-2...).
