Welcome to Woodpecker

Woodpecker is a simple, yet powerful CI/CD engine with great extensibility. It focuses on executing pipelines inside containers. If you are already using containers in your daily workflow, you'll for sure love Woodpecker.

`.woodpecker.yaml`

Place your pipeline in a file named .woodpecker.yaml in your repository
Pipeline steps can be named as you like
Run any command in the commands section

steps:
  - name: build
    image: debian
    commands:
      - echo "This is the build step"
  - name: a-test-step
    image: debian
    commands:
      - echo "Testing.."

Steps are containers

Define any container image as context
- either use your own and install the needed tools in a custom image
- or search for available images that are already tailored for your needs in image registries like Docker Hub
List the commands that should be executed in the container

 steps:
   - name: build
-    image: debian
+    image: mycompany/image-with-awscli
     commands:
       - aws help

File changes are incremental

Woodpecker clones the source code in the beginning
File changes are persisted throughout individual steps as the same volume is being mounted in all steps

steps:
  - name: build
    image: debian
    commands:
      - touch myfile
  - name: a-test-step
    image: debian
    commands:
      - cat myfile

Plugins are straightforward

If you copy the same shell script from project to project
Pack it into a plugin instead
And make the yaml declarative
Plugins are Docker images with your script as an entrypoint

FROM laszlocloud/kubectl
COPY deploy /usr/local/deploy
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/deploy"]

kubectl apply -f $PLUGIN_TEMPLATE

steps:
  - name: deploy-to-k8s
    image: laszlocloud/my-k8s-plugin
    settings:
      template: config/k8s/service.yaml

See plugin docs.
