OneDev

OneDev is a self-hosted DevOps platform that combines Git repository hosting with CI/CD automation, code review, and project management in a single application. It focuses on deep cross-referencing between code, issues, builds, and packages to streamline day-to-day development workflows.

Key Features

• Git hosting with pull requests, inline code discussions, and configurable code protection rules
• Language-aware code search and navigation, including regex search and symbol lookup
• Built-in CI/CD with a graphical pipeline editor, templates, matrix jobs, caching, and job debugging tools (including a web terminal)
• Multiple execution options for CI/CD, from local/container runs to agent farms and Kubernetes-based scaling
• Integrated Kanban boards with customizable issue workflows, automation rules, and time tracking/reporting
• Built-in package registries for managing and linking build artifacts to pipelines
• Service desk mode to link incoming emails with issues for customer support workflows
• Dashboards, saved queries with subscriptions/notifications, and project hierarchy management
• Built-in security and compliance scanning for dependencies, artifacts, and container images
• MCP server support to interact with issues, pull requests, and builds via AI agents

Use Cases

• Replace separate tools (Git hosting, CI, issue tracker, package registry) with one integrated platform
• Run CI/CD pipelines with traceability from commits to builds and released artifacts
• Manage engineering work with Kanban boards, automated issue transitions, and time tracking

Limitations and Considerations

• CI/CD scaling via Kubernetes/agents requires additional infrastructure and operational setup beyond the built-in executor

OneDev is well-suited for teams that want an integrated, resource-efficient alternative to larger DevOps suites while keeping tight links between code, planning, and delivery. Its unified approach helps reduce tool sprawl and improves traceability across the software lifecycle.
