I have my Ahven library and other things at Sourcehut.org:
https://hg.sr.ht/~tkoskine/ahven/

They offer generic build service also. For example see one build
log from Ahven: https://builds.sr.ht/~tkoskine/job/675294

The build configurations are Yaml files:
https://hg.sr.ht/~tkoskine/ahven/browse/.builds?rev=tip

Of course, the software on the build service is limited to
open source operating systems and compilers (Linux, *BSDs, GNAT).

Commercial Ada compilers (like ObjectAda or Janus/Ada) are not
supported.

For commercial Ada compilers, I run internal homelab network with
Jenkins master on RPi4 and couple of Windows build slaves, which fetch
the source code from Sourcehut periodically.

And before starting to use Sourcehut, read the caveats page:
https://sourcehut.org/alpha-details/

I also think that Sourcehut doesn't support hosting of "random"
binaries, like hand-crafted release tar balls. This kind of things
I locate on a separate virtual server.
