or be willing to move vendor and re-implement the stuff.

For comparison my magic combination(and not all free or realistic for everyone):

  - gitlab
  - jenkins/looking into gl ci
  - linode/cloudafrica(ah-hah hosting is not free)
  - sentry is a tough one. We rolling a custom mqttwarn/zabbix solution
  - irc(fine I will take your slack and use the irc-bridge pfftt)

Yup, definitely look into it. We just killed our last Jenkins instance last week after we found out that everyone eventually moved to the GitLab CI.

Why a tough one? I found Sentry easy to self-host. They have pretty good docs: https://docs.sentry.io/server/installation/

We ditched Slack for Mattermost. It's not entirely up to par (yet), but works for most use-cases. And there's an IRC bridge for it, too (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge). Oh, and Mattermost comes bundled with GitLab in their omnibus.
