It's true that Jenkins is old, and has systemic architecture problems which mean that I'm sure we haven't seen the last RCE for it. RCEs in build systems are a nightmare because build systems necessarily end up knowing secret tokens.

But drone.io is no kind of replacement. It only works with Docker containers! Even small Jenkins installs can quickly end up with Windows targets, mobile builds, etc.

This will only be true for another week or two. We have devised a framework for alternate runtimes, including running pipelines directly on the host machine or in traditional virtual machines, that will be released end of week. Reference issue https://github.com/drone/drone/issues/2680

Does it support running on macOS and Windows, too? CI for native apps is IMHO the most common lock-in for Jenkins at the moment. Anything web or container related can almost always be implemented using pretty much any other CI/CD solution out there.

Yes, it supports windows, macos, and linux. I expect it will also support bsd although I have not tested this yet. This should land in master some time this week.
