Any experience with a Continuous Integration Appliance?


We have a continuous integration server running Hudson CI. I'm thinking about putting up an LCD display in the office with various build stats and am curious what others have put together.

I'm currently thinking about buying a WIFI-enabled digital picture frame that I can send generated images to. Or repurposing an old laptop...

Thoughts? Experiences?


Solution

  • There are many solutions (all links below point to working solutions with Hudson or existing plugins):

    Check out the other Build notifiers plugins for more ideas.

    Personally, I have experienced the bunny, lava lamps, orbs and the radiator view. They all do the job but I have a little preference for the lava lamps. As Jeffrey mentioned in another answer, it's indeed funny to race against the wax to fix a build failure :)
