Woodpecker CI
This playbook can install and configure Woodpecker CI for you.
Woodpecker CI is a Continuous Integration engine which can build and deploy your code automatically after pushing to a Gitea repository.
A Woodpecker CI installation contains 2 components:
- one Woodpecker CI server (web interface, central management node)
- one or more Woodpecker CI agent instances (which run your CI jobs)
It's better to run the agent instances elsewhere (not on the source-control server or a server serving anything of value) - on a machine that doesn't contain sensitive data.
Warning: At the moment, running the server and agent on different machines cannot be done due to the server's gRPC port not being exposed publicly (at the Traefik level). If you need to do this, consider submitting a PR to the Woodpecker CI server role to add support for this.
Small installations which only run trusted CI jobs can afford to run an agent instance on the source-control server itself.
Woodpecker CI Server
Dependencies
This service requires the following other services:
Configuration
Until this Woodpecker CI issue is solved, Woodpecker CI can only be hosted at its own dedicated domain name, at the root path (/). It cannot be hosted at a subpath (e.g. /ci).
To enable this service, add the following configuration to your vars.yml file and re-run the installation process:
########################################################################
# #
# woodpecker-ci-server #
# #
########################################################################
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_enabled: true
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_hostname: woodpecker.example.com
# Generate this secret with `openssl rand -hex 32`
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_config_agent_secret: ''
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_config_admins: [YOUR_USERNAME_HERE]
# Add one or more usernames that match your version control system (e.g. Gitea) below.
# These users will have admin privileges upon signup.
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_config_admins:
- YOUR_USERNAME_HERE
- ANOTHER_USERNAME_HERE
########################################################################
# #
# /woodpecker-ci-server #
# #
########################################################################
In the example configuration above, we configure the service to be hosted at https://woodpecker.example.com.
Gitea Integration
The Woodpecker CI server can integrate with Gitea using the following additional vars.yml configuration:
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_provider: gitea
# We must use the public URL here, because it's also used for login redirects
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_config_gitea_url: "{{ gitea_config_root_url }}"
# Populate these with the OAuth 2 application information
# (see the Gitea configuration section above)
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_config_gitea_client: GITEA_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID_HERE
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_config_gitea_secret: GITEA_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET_HERE
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_container_add_host_domain_name: "{{ gitea_hostname }}"
devture_woodpecker_ci_server_container_add_host_ip_address: "{{ ansible_host }}"
To integrate with version-control systems other than Gitea, you'll need similar configuration.
Usage
After installation, you should be able to access the Woodpecker CI server instance at https://woodpecker.DOMAIN (matching the devture_woodpecker_ci_server_hostname value configured in vars.yml).
The Log in button should take you to Gitea, where you can authorize Woodpecker CI with the OAuth 2 application.
Follow the official Woodpecker CI Getting started documentation for additional usage details.
Woodpecker CI Agent
As mentioned above, unless you completely trust your CI workloads, it's best to run the Woodpecker CI Agent on another machine.
Dependencies
This service requires the following other services:
- a Woodpecker CI Server - installed via this playbook or otherwise
Configuration
########################################################################
# #
# woodpecker-ci-agent #
# #
########################################################################
devture_woodpecker_ci_agent_enabled: true
# If the agent runs on the same machine as the server, enabling the agent
# is everything you need. The agent and server will be wired automatically.
#
# Otherwise, you'll need to configure the variables below:
# This needs to point to the server's gRPC port.
# By default, this port is not exposed, so.. you may need to do some extra work,
# which possibly involves contributing a PR to the Woodpecker CI server role:
# https://github.com/devture/com.devture.ansible.role.woodpecker_ci_server
devture_woodpecker_ci_agent_config_server: ''
# Enter your server's secret below.
# This value must match the `devture_woodpecker_ci_server_config_agent_secret` variable.
devture_woodpecker_ci_agent_config_agent_secret: ''
########################################################################
# #
# /woodpecker-ci-agent #
# #
########################################################################
Usage
The agent should automatically register with the Woodpecker CI server and take jobs from it.
