Drone Gitlab

Facilitates your local development workflows with Drone CI pipelines using Gitlab client. There's one for Github.

Requirements

Setup

Here's a brief list of steps you need to take in order to start the automation infrastructure locally.

Share local protocol and port

Simply run: (without the need of a running application on the port!)

$ ngrok http 80

This will start sharing your local http protocol via port 80. You will receive an address like http://ada4e47d.ngrok.io

This is necessary in order to enable integration between locally-run Drone server and external Oauth2 providers such as Gitlab or Github.

Create Oauth2 application

Follow the tutorial about creating an application, name is not important, but /authorize callback is.

When the application is created, save the values of Application ID and Secret.

Start Drone

Clone .env.example file to .env and modify it. Or create a new file .env in the root folder. Set the appropriate values:

DRONE_HOST=http://ada4e47d.ngrok.io
DRONE_GITLAB_CLIENT=value of Application ID
DRONE_GITLAB_SECRET=value of Secret
DRONE_SECRET=value of your preference

Then, run the following:

$ docker-compose up

When the server is running, open http://ada4e47d.ngrok.io in your browser and authorize the application.

When authorized, activate the project in the web UI.

This activation is necessary for you to be able to configure the secrets and make use of the hooks attached for changes to trigger builds in the Drone automation system.

Troubleshooting

check-config.sh script might help.
