Drone server

Drone is a Continuous Integration platform built on container technology with native Kubernetes support.

This Chart is for installing Drone server.

Installing Drone server

See the drone chart installation guide.

Configuring Drone server

Secrets

The drone server deployment can be used to leverage the Kubernetes secrets to configure values like DRONE_RPC_SECRET or other source code repository e.g. DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET. Refer to the Drone server reference for a more complete list of options.

Here is an example that creates the secrets from environment variables DRONE_RPC_SECRET, DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET,

kubectl create secret my-drone-secret generic \
  --from-literal=DRONE_RPC_SECRET=$DRONE_RPC_SECRET \
  --from-literal=DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=$DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID \
  --from-literal=DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=$DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET 

Helm Values

Once you have created the secret then you can refer to the secret in values.yaml like,

...
extraSecretNamesForEnvFrom:
  - my-drone-secret
...

See values.yaml to see the Chart's default values.

To adjust an existing Drone install's configuration:

# If you have a values file:
helm upgrade drone drone/drone --namespace drone --values drone-values.yaml
# If you want to change one value and don't have a values file:
helm upgrade drone drone/drone --namespace drone --reuse-values --set someKey=someVal

Upgrading Drone server

Read the release notes to make sure there are no backwards incompatible changes. Make adjustments to your values as needed, then run helm upgrade:

# This pulls the latest version of the drone chart from the repo.
helm repo update
helm upgrade drone drone/drone --namespace drone --values drone-values.yaml

Uninstalling Drone server

To uninstall/delete the drone deployment in the drone namespace:

helm delete drone --namespace drone

Substitute your values if they differ from the examples. See helm delete --help for a full reference on delete parameters and flags.
