What BuildMaster is
BuildMaster is a self-hosted CI/CD platform for automating software builds and deployments and managing releases. Teams can assemble pipelines using no-code templates, drag-and-drop editing, or OtterScript, PowerShell, Python, Bash, and Windows Batch. Connections to GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, and other services provide code, branch, and commit visibility; it can also import artifacts from Jenkins and TeamCity for deployment across environments. Release pipelines can include approvals, deployment windows, variable prompts, automated checks, and manual or automatic promotion between stages. Docker workflows cover image tagging and pushing, container start and stop, and environment-specific configuration. Listed targets include Windows services and IIS, Linux or Unix servers through an SSH Agent, Azure, Terraform, FTP, Kubernetes, and mobile apps. Role-based access can be scoped to applications and environments, with Software Composition Analysis integration for identifying third-party component vulnerabilities. BuildMaster is self-managed on-premises or in private or public cloud. The free plan has unlimited users, applications, and servers, but all logged-in users are administrators and LDAP is disabled.
