Drone

[A Former User]

@girish I can get around to some test for this one of these days. Do you think this is a good fit for the store? Of course, drone runners would need to be run elsewhere. I tried to package that out of curiosity but no dice so far. Best run on another VM anyways. But always good to have the CI server run on the same cloudron as a gitea instance.

[girish]

@atridad yes, that will be great. I think having runners separate is fine, that's how the GitLab CI is as well (we have runners in a separate VM). From what I remember, the app needed configuration on first run itself, is that still the case?

[A Former User]

@girish it does, yeah. I can change the default to something more sensible like git.domain.tld.

The post install can be found here: https://git.atridad.dev/atridad/cloudron-drone-ci/src/branch/master/POSTINSTALL.md

I can also put it on the cloudron Git to make it easier.

Separate does not have to mean off Cloudron however. One of the systems I am running my Drone runners is also the Cloudron system where I am running the app/dashboard. Simply not started as a Cloudron app, but through docker-compose (I have scripting for that in my Drone app). The Runner only cleans up containers it has created itself, so its safe to use in my opinion.

[A Former User]

@fbartels same here. It seems to be safe to run.

Yes, please. We can then move this package forward.

[A Former User]

@girish Oh could you give me access to make repos on there again? Username is atridad. I made a new account.

[girish]

@atridad Yes, of course. Done.

[A Former User]

@girish Thanks! Its here: https://git.cloudron.io/atridad/cloudron-drone-ci

[girish]

@atridad I got it going here - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/drone-app/ . It seems the .env file is missing in the git repo, you should have permissions to add it.

[A Former User]

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

[A Former User]

@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.

@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.

[girish]

@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.

@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?
