Drone.io CI/CD tool setup with terraform and DigitalOcean
- Terraform - https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform/getting-started/install.html
- Domain or subdomain for your drone server.
- It is better to link this domain to FloatingIP and then to server droplet.
- DigitalOcean account
- Drone GitHub app - step number 1 in https://docs.drone.io/installation/github/single-machine/
When your terraform.tfvars are correctly filled, you can type terraform plan
in console, which will preview your changes to infrastructure and then
terraform apply which actually make this changes.
Don't forget fill drone admin username and drone users filter in setup_drone_server.sh.tpl.
Or remove this lines if you don't care...
There are also two things in setup, which you probably don't need.
- DigitalOcean Volume attached to drone server.
- Drone database is mounted from there. It is useful, when need to make significant changes to drone server. So you make a snapshot of that volume and then attach it to new server = no drone data loss (repos, build history, ...)
- Drone server plugin for trigger when some file changes.
- This can be useful when you have build step in your pipeline, but you wanna trigger this step only when some files are changed, eg. Dockerfile or requirements.
