Open Source
Drone.io is open-source software, allowing for extensive customization and community support. This makes it easier for organizations to adapt the platform to their specific needs and benefit from continual updates and improvements contributed by a broader community.
Container-Native
Drone.io uses containers to run jobs, ensuring a consistent environment across different builds and facilitating easier environment management by leveraging Docker.
Scalability
The platform is highly scalable and supports distributed builds, allowing organizations to efficiently manage large workloads.
Ease of Setup
The setup and initial configuration are relatively straightforward, making it accessible even for teams with limited DevOps experience.
Extensive Plugin Ecosystem
Drone.io supports a wide range of plugins, providing integration with many services and tools. This extensibility allows teams to customize their CI/CD pipelines extensively.
Developer-friendly Configuration
Pipeline configurations are defined in simple YAML files, which many developers find easy to write, read, and maintain.
To use github my code would have to leave my server. I can build it myself using woodpecker. I used drone.io till they were bought out and went closed source then migrated to woodpecker-ci.

A lot of people on reddit seem to recommend gitlab, or drone.io, but if you get on indeed and search for jobs there are tens of thousands of posts looking for people who know Jenkins and only a tiny fraction of job listings interested in any other ci framework. Is it worth investing time into anything else? It’s my decision and while the other options seem more friendly I don’t see any point in learning them if…

Gitea + drone.io is what I am using. Very happy with the solution.

Drone.io got a split into community edition and enterprise, where community edition has no agents and only a master node can serve building purpose.

I really should migrate to Gitea + drone.io.

I’m really embarassed to say that I love docker-compose over K8s for its simplicity & effectiveness.But tools are reallly lacking.drone.io is like a docker-compose.yml. Simple, effictive & beautiful.

Hello,as this is quite a topic and some people seem to be interested, I thought I share some Input for what I have done with drone.io and gitea for automatic deployment. Some knowledge regarding those is needed, though. It might not be perfect, but a start for others and for discussions.

Is declarative, typically mapping to standard steps that will be part of building a golang application i.e. test, build and push image to container registry. Drone help to setup a build pipeline in declarative way and has plugins for all major tools/platforms including one for GoReleaser.

Let me introduce an Open Source project Drone — a cloud native self-service Continuous Integration platform — . 10 years ago old Drone was the first CI tool to leverage containers to run pipeline steps independent of each other., Today, with over 100M+ Docker pulls, and the most GitHub stars of any Continuous Integration solution, Drone offers a mature, Kubernetes based CI system harnessing the scaling and…

I don’t do this, but I do use drone.io, and this sounds doable.

The linked article literally has a section “Why Woodpecker CI” that eplains in the first sentence it’s a fork of drone.io after the latter was bought out last year.

I’ve been trying to setup drone.io in my rockylinux VM for the past 2 days now and I still can’t seem to figure it out. I followed the install instructions and have drone.io and drone-runner running as docker container, when I try and build an image this is the error I get: https://dpaste.com/DMQH9PVBX. I am running docker as root and have tried the usermod -aG docker . The odd thing is, it works perfectly in…

We’re already using Drone CI for a bunch of things like building, testing, linting and releasing.
For each PR Drone runs a few pipelines to give us quick feedback about the impact of the changes.
In that pipeline, a pipeline builds the frontend. Since the frontend is just a classic SPA, we get a bundle of css, js, images
And so forth at the end of that build.

Kinda unrelated but the same happens with me and the guys at drone.io , they blocked my github user from their Discourse for “making snarky comments” and when I complained in their GitHub repo about it they just deleted the issue. Talk about dickheads!

In my free time I use drone.io which works well in combination with gitea. That’s the stack I would probably use it work as well for a small team without any budget (I’m tired of trying to convince people why a certain license tier would be beneficial) since I prefer KISS software in general but of course my colleagues/management disagree.

But I second u/mdedonno comment that you should look at using Kaniko or something similar. Personally I would also recommend evaluating drone.io or another more modern and streamlined CI system, IMHO jenkins is a pile of bailing wire and duct tape.

You want real simplicity? Try drone.io same concept of runners but even more developer friendly than gitlab and drone doesn’t try to lock you into to everything else like gitlab does.

Found this https://github.com/laszlocph/woodpecker as forked of drone.io.

However, this isn’t exactly DevOps. Using git provides you with the continuous integration of your code via pull requests etc., but it does not provide continuous delivery. For that, we look to a software called Drone.
