What is Drone.io?
Drone is a continuous delivery system built on container technology. It utilizes simple YAML configuration files (a superset of docker-compose) to define and execute Pipelines within Docker containers. Drone is a lightweight yet powerful continuous delivery platform specifically designed for containers. It is packaged and distributed as a Docker image, available for download from Dockerhub.
Version Control Support: Drone seamlessly integrates with popular source code management systems, including GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, Bitbucket, and more.
Configuration as Code: Pipeline definitions are declarative configuration files committed to your repository. The syntax is a superset of the widely-used docker-compose YAML specification.
Container-Native: Pipelines run inside containers and are isolated from the host. Images are automatically downloaded, eliminating the need for manual installation or upgrades.
Language Support: Drone works with virtually any language or software running inside a container. Use any Docker image from any Docker registry.
Plugins for Everything: Hundreds of community plugins are available to automate tasks and integrate with third-party systems. Browse a selection of plugins in the Plugin Marketplace or create your own.
