Setup AppVeyor CI for automated testing on Windows #742

Open lmakarov opened 6 years ago

lmakarov commented 6 years ago

AppVeyor will officially support Windows workers with nested virtualization support soon. This will allow us test Docksal on Windows in a CI environment.

AppVeyor is free for open-source projects, however, Premium workers (with nested virtualization / Docker for Windows support) are will be offered at a 50% discount for OSS. We may need to find a sponsor to cover the cost of CI and automated tests for Windows.

AppVeyor has released the On-premise Edition with a free tier: https://www.appveyor.com/on-premise/

There would still be the cost of running the actual Windows VM.

A rough comparison of hosted vs on-prem costs for our CI needs:

Going with hosted would be more reliable. Going with on-prem could be almost free.
