If you're starting off with just yourself as the only developer but scaling up at some point, depending on what it is you're developing, it might be worth to check out a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering, like https://www.openshift.com or https://www.heroku.com/, both which offer developer accounts, but you can scale up to paid accounts as and when needed.

OpenShift have CI cartridges for Jenkins so you can spin up DVCS (git), CI using Jenkins, and an app server like JBoss AS or WildFly all in one go in a matter of minutes... depending on your needs and how much time you want to dedicate to setting this up yourself locally, I'd be more inclined to look at using a PaaS.
