Drone in a droplet (docker-drone-builder)

Some experimenting with Drone, using .drone.yml to build assets.

Howto

Create a Droplet at DigitalOcean. I used a Docker "one-click app" and named it drone-ci.
Specs: 512 MB Memory / 20 GB Disk / AMS2 - Ubuntu Docker 17.03.0-ce on 14.04

Docker has been preinstalled and configured per Docker's Recommendations. You can find more information on using this image at: http://do.co/dockerapp

Docker setup

SSH into the droplet and install docker-compose:

wget https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.11.2/docker-compose-Linux-x86_64 -O /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Create a docker-compose.yml-file:

version: '2'

services:
  drone-server:
    image: drone/drone:0.5
    container_name: drone
    ports:
      - 80:8000
    volumes:
      - /var/lib/drone:/var/lib/drone/
    restart: always
    env_file: .env-server

  drone-agent:
    image: drone/drone:0.5
    container_name: drone-agent
    command: agent
    restart: always
    depends_on: [ drone-server ]
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw
    env_file: .env-agent

The env_files for docker-compose, .env-server and .env-agent.
.env-agent only needs the last two lines of this list:

DRONE_OPEN=true
DRONE_GITHUB=true
DRONE_ADMIN=hbokh
DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT=27658...
DRONE_GITHUB_SECRET=05c966a3...
DRONE_SECRET=SomeSecretHashWithLotsOfCharacters
DRONE_SERVER=ws://drone-server:8000/ws/broker

Install drone CLI from Homebrew

$ brew tap drone/drone
$ brew install drone --devel

Set the DRONE_SERVER and DRONE_TOKEN:

$ export DRONE_SERVER=http://drone.example.com
$ export DRONE_TOKEN=ayJbbGcjojpwefnoHokkFFa ...

Your user account token can be found in the webUI by clicking "GET TOKEN". It is > 100 characters in length.

Now you can command drone remotely and do stuff like:

$ drone repo info hbokh/docker-drone-builder

Owner: hbokh
Repo: docker-drone-builder
Type: git
Private: false
Remote: https://github.com/hbokh/docker-drone-builder.git

$ drone global secret ls

DOCKER_USERNAME
Events: push, tag, deployment
SkipVerify: false
Conceal: false
