Please comment on this issue if you are using Woodpecker.
It would mean a lot. Would keep the spirit, and help convincing new users.
Add the nature of your usage as well: company / private, build volume per week
In our legal services company we are using Woodpecker as a main CI/CD platform to great satisfaction, with hundreds of builds per day. It's tailor cut to our needs, simple and flexible. Friendly license is a great plus. Thoroughly recommended!
I am starting to learn CICD (from a sysadmin POV), and after testing Drone, I move to Woodpecker. I was able to link woodpecker to my internal gitea server (in https).
I've been testing / building a knowledge base on different CI platforms for my company over the past few months intermittently. Tried a myriad of different platforms but some were overly complex and restrictive. We are a smallish company who develop solutions on the odoo framework mostly, but also do other things.
I landed on drone but the gray licensing lead me here. We've started the process of migrating active projects over to a woodpecker system we set up, after verifying it suits most of our needs (and after you addressed some of our issues!)
We have a use case where we have many projects which utilize mostly similar pipeline steps, so the custom plugin functionality is amazing for managing the pipeline scripts centrally, and managing which steps get executed on a per-project basis using the yaml file. This way, if our release process changes slightly in the future, we can just update that plugin and have the change propagate to all projects if we want.
Being able to override the default clone step with a plugin is great, as most of our repositories are a mix of private gitea --> private/public github submodules, and we weren't willing to change everything to use https instead of git@, so we just inject the private key (whose pubkey is attached to a robot user on both vcs systems) and clone recursively.
We've opted for building / testing on PR opening, and additional steps of releasing / notifying a new image upon merge, so we will probably have ~20-40 builds a week once all our projects are on there.
Just want to say thanks for your work on this!
:hugs:
The system design is the work of the original Drone author Brad Rydzewski.
I just try to not mess it up too much and keep the 0.8 line alive, for the very same reasons.. it's simple, it's good enough, and I use it a lot :)
I am using Woodpecker for a POC/Startup I am working on. I have it running out of my house on my personal Docker Swarm. I wanted a Container first CI. I have used a lot of different CI's on my own and at my day job - Jenkins, Bamboo, Jenkins, Gitlab CI. Woodpecker, and Drone by extension, was what I wanted.
Just starting out evaluating here. Really appreciate the spirit of the project <3
I'm just in evaluation of container based CI/CD. I came here from Drone project, since OSS is not viable for Kubernetes. Thanks for your work!
Hi everyone, I'm a computer science student from Belgium and I'd love to set this up on my servers, but I can't seem to find any information about how to set this up using Gitea. From the docs I was able to derive the following:
- 'DRONE_GITEA=true'
- 'DRONE_GITEA_CLIENT=${GITEA_CLIENT}'
- 'DRONE_GITEA_SECRET=${GITEA_SECRET}'
Where GITEA_CLIENT is the URL to my Gitea instance and GITEA_SECRET my OAuth secret. Is this correct? I based this off this page as there was no official link to any Gitea documentation.
I'd really appreciate any help, as I'm really excited to start using this!
Edit:

Kinda forgot about this. I would personally use this for all the projects me and my friends are making, so my build volume would probably be somewhere around 20-30 builds per week (my servers aren't that powerful so I wouldn't be able to go any higher).
We adopted Woodpecker moving from a Drone 0.8 setup. Migration was pretty painless and our engineers are happier with proper multi-pipeline support.
We have 400+ repos and are doing around 4k builds a week.
Thanks for all your hard work :)
@ChewingBever Gitea doesn't use OAuth in Woodpecker, perhaps this will help you in your setup: https://github.com/laszlocph/woodpecker/issues/130#issuecomment-675982171

@inverse This is amazing. Thanks for sharing! If you or others have any input on the direction of the project, I'm interested: https://github.com/laszlocph/woodpecker/issues/165#issuecomment-792546528
I see that Gitea is an interest for many. A Gitea push with OAuth would worth the effort..

Definitely of interest for me. I'm a current Drone user (just a small personal setup) but since they got picked up by Harness they fell into a blackhole and at some point even disabled issue tracking on GitHub -- so much for that "vibrant, opensource community" (apologies for sounding bitter) -- so I've been keeping a watchful eye on Woodpecker's Gitea support for a while.
I use Gitea as my Git repository for my own Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yml to manage my private server. My environment is a good timesaver, but there are some boring and error prone tasks left. To fill this gap I installed Woodpecker. All in all Woodpecker looks good, but I found a strange behavior: https://github.com/laszlocph/woodpecker/issues/130#issuecomment-841794909
Edit: BTW, I'm using Woodpecker just for one day. For now it's more playing with it and to learn more about CI.
I too use Gitea, self-hosted. I haven't had a need for local CI for a while, but the last time I used it, my Jenkins instance had gone kaput, so I spun up Woodpecker a few months ago just to have it ready.
I finally needed it today. I'm currently trying to suss out which parts of the Drone API are and aren't working as I expect, but otherwise 💯 I'm on board.
We are trying out Woodpecker for Sutty, a worker cooperative. We just started so I don't have a good measurement of how many builds we use just yet.
Hey @laszlocph, thanks a lot for the hard fork and maintenance!
I am the founder of https://devforth.io/ software development company, we loved Drone CI because of it's simplicity and containerization idea, we used it for our clients a lot and recommended it a lot. At that time, as a contribution to the great tool and great idea, we created several blog posts and a set of guides which popularized DroneCI, however as it turned out this was a mistake.
Once it was unexpectedly sold, harness made unnecessarily huge price, and of course, we don't want to popularize Drone anymore. Thanks to you we are now moving to woodpecker. A lot of projects and a lot of work in progress.... But I think it should be capable because what we need is only basic configs, secrets + slack plugin. If this movement will be successful we will destroy all our guides about Drone and adjust them for woodpecker.
@ivictbor that would be awesome, we are currently restructuring woodpecker to make it modern and easier to maintain. So next version will be breaking a lot with legacy ... just that you konw ... (esp. have a look at #218)
just a side-note, for the sake of funding ;) woodpecker is now on OpenCollective
@6543 Thanks for the info, the first build was handled successfully! We deployed https://tracklify.com using Woodpecker! Our DevOps engineer said the setup was pretty smooth and straightforward. The first small donation should also come soon!
I have recently started using woodpecker internally for my own personal open source and private development. I have it tied to my internal gitea server and is working great. I tried drone first but couldn't get it to build at all.. woodpecker was easy to setup and runs great!
I've been using Woodpecker together with my personal Gitea on my Raspberry Pi 4 and I've been liking it! The docs could do with some love perhaps and I have a few thoughts on how I'd like to make the build syntax better, but no real complaints from me :). Thanks
Hey!
We're a software agency based in Cologne, Germany and are planning to move to woodpecker from drone. Same reason as @ivictbor: No more open source, huge price tags and no more development progress in drone ci. We have around 40-50 repos and around 100-200 builds per week.
Thank you so much for forking off of drone and maintaining this project! ❤️
Just started using this today and it is the bee’s knees! Awesome work, and thank you so much! Love it!
I’m using woodpecker for my personal projects for now, running partially on my NAS and partially on some Raspberry Pi’s. So much better than anything else out there!
I started to use it since gitlab stopped free pull mirrors for public repos. use it on gitea
it's nice but syntax is still has learning curve for me
Estoy evaluando usar woodpecker para proyectos NET (Full y core) pero tenia la duda si soportaba CD.
I'm using Woodpecker over at codeberg and just love it. So far nothing that couldn't be solved by looking stuff up in the docs - keep up the good work!
I'm a user of woodpecker too. Just using it on my personal gitea instance. It I run the server on my RockPro64 board, and I'm using my computer as the agent (My board will never support to run more than one build at a time anyway).
I used Drone CI for years, but after the v1.0 I got pretty annoyed with it, especially that they ripped out useful feature to sell them as enterprise features. Then they were bought by harness which finally made me search for an alternative and I found woodpecker-ci and from one day to another suddently l had all my missing features back (and more new ones).
Long story short, I happily use woodpecker daily, so thanks to the whole team/community :)
