I really would like Devuan to join Docker Hub for supplying verified
Devuan images and it is free for open source projects
https://www.docker.com/community/open-source/application/

But besides that I can make a Gitea instance with 50 or 100 Gb available
on a small OVH server in France. CI/CD can be done with Drone CI in
Gitea but I do not have any personal experience with it. A Gitlab
instance is too bulky for this kind of server (I tried).
