    I can put in a word for Buildbot, which I've been using for years across multiple projects. It doesn't depend on Docker, it is written in Python, and we use it with some FreeBSD machines too. I think the main downside compared to others is the configuration, which can easily become overwhelming if you're not a developer. It's a Python script, which means it is extremely versatile, and adaptable to any use-case you can think of.
