Consider a service like travis-ci, which is free for opensource projects. They also offer an enterprise service.

There is also CircleCI, also with an enterprise service.

You can run it locally, especially, it would be easier to run it as a container. Please see this link: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/docker/
