Run Drone inside minikube

Running Drone in Kuberenetes with Gitea

This is an effort to make it simpler to run Drone in Kuberenetes locally for developing patterns/solutions/drivers for Drone and kuberenetes.

Install minikube

Tool to easily install/setup/manage kubernetes inside virtualbox

https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube

Install kubectl

CLI tool for kubernetes

https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/prereqs/

Create local kubernetes environment

minikube start --cpus 6 --memory 5000
# wait a few minutes

# Setup docker env to use docker in minikube vbox instance
eval #(minikube docker-env)

# See stuff running
kubectl get all
docker ps

Install/Configure gitea

kubectl apply -f gitea-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f gitea-service.yaml

# Wait a few minutes for gitea to download and start
kubectl get all
kubectl describe pod gitea

# Get URL to access gitea when everything is up
minikube service gitea --url

We will also need to set a host entry for gitea locally.

echo "$(minikube ip) gitea" >> /etc/hosts

Now login to your gitea instance (from minikube service gitea --url above) to finish setting it up. Create yourself an admin account as well.

  • Database Type: sqlite3
  • Application URL should match output of minikube service gitea --url

Install Drone

kubectl apply -f drone-secrets.yaml
kubectl apply -f drone-configmap.yaml
kubectl apply -f drone-server-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f drone-server-service.yaml
kubectl apply -f drone-agent-deployment.yaml

Create a repo

  1. Login to gitea - minikube service gitea --url
  2. Create a repo
  3. Login to Drone - minikube service drone-server --url
  4. Activate your repo in Drone
  5. FIX YOUR WEBHOOK
  • Go to webhook in gitea for repo you activated
  • Change to http://drone-server:8000/hook?access_token=xxxxx
  1. Clone the gitea repo and have fun!
