@girish oh whoops, I’ll add that right away

@girish I work with macOS and because I cant import into your gitlab I copied and pasted the files into a new repo I made. Unfortunately the .env file is considered a hidden file and didn't show up in finder...

Good catch. Its in there now.

[robi]

@atridad That's a preference you can set in finder to show all hidden files or use the CLI.

[A Former User]

@robi ahhh I'll check that out. I was being lazy tbh and didn't just use the command-line.

the next time you could also add an additional remote to your local repo and then push to this new remote. This has also the upside of preserving history.

@atridad thanks!

Trying to understand how this app works. If I configure this for gitea, then it will use the gitea provider to sign in - https://docs.drone.io/server/provider/gitea/ ?

If that's the case, what is https://docs.drone.io/server/user/registration/ ? Or is the OAuth stuff separate from the users?

[A Former User]

@girish The OAuth is seperate I believe. So far I haven't been able to see an issue with open registration. But yeah it uses gitea as a login provider.

[A Former User]

@fbartels Good point. I'll do that next time.

[fbartels]

@girish my drone app has some install instructions and further usage in its readme (including the gitea setup). you can find them at https://github.com/fbartels/cloudron-drone-app#installation.

[msbt]

@atridad I had to add RUN chmod +x /app/code/start.sh to your Dockerfile in order to install it properly, it was throwing a 400 error.

Is there any chance to add the runners/agents as cloudron apps as well? I was just playing around with the exec runner and couldn't get it to work, but I would think it could be the same as the cloudron-build-service, no?

[fbartels]

@msbt you don't really need an app for that, you can just run the docker runner on your cloudron host. I am using https://github.com/fbartels/cloudron-drone-app/blob/master/runner/docker-compose.yml along with a .env file with my server specific values.

[msbt]

@fbartels I'm trying to have a complete deployment solution for static pages, like Directus + Gitea + Drone (with Agents) + Surfer on one server which can be given/rented to the customer when the site is finished, so they can have everything in one place and can build/update the website(s) themselves. Would be nice to have it in the GUI (and there's a dashboard on :3000 if you set credentials, right?) and have the possibility to restart if need arises without sshing onto the box. But if it's too tricky or crazy effort, your suggestion will probably be the way to go

[fbartels]

@msbt the webinterface on the runners is only for debugging as far as I know. So they do not really need to be reachable from the public internet. The only important thing is that the runners can reach the "dashboard" to get job information.

I have runners deployed on a few machines, even had it running on my laptop.

And one of the Drone jobs indeed builds a hugo blog and then deploys it via surfer.

[msbt]

@fbartels thanks, it does work indeed, I even used your cloudron-surfer image to deploy a demo Hugo to a surfer instance.

Although I would still find it a lot more practical if the runner was an actual part of cloudron, so we go full circle and have all the benefits, like when you migrate everything on a new machine

[A Former User]

@msbt True. The best part about runners though is that they need barely any config and don't need to store much at all. It is very scalable. As for my image, I do need to fix that. I've been slammed with projects and life lately but I'm trying to get to everything I've said I would do lol

[robi]

@atridad If you detail out some steps of what needs doing, perhaps someone can chip in at the repo you specify.

Many hands make short work.

[fbartels]

@robi from my perspective that is all already part of https://github.com/fbartels/cloudron-drone-app/. Atridad just decided that he wanted to do his own app.

[robi]

@fbartels ah, thanks for the clarification!

[A Former User]

@robi Just added that. Thing about this repo is hopefully making it more viable as an official app. One thing that I think would help is support for required environment variables when installing specific apps. Similar to how the ports are defined. That would let us specify the gitea URL and the OAuth info.

Sounds like a good feature request.
