Welcome to Woodpecker
Woodpecker is a simple CI engine with great extensibility.

.woodpecker.yml
- Place your pipeline in a file named
.woodpecker.yml
in your repository
- Pipeline steps can be named as you like
- Run any command in the commands section
| # .woodpecker.yml
pipeline:
build:
image: debian
commands:
- echo "This is the build step"
a-test-step:
image: debian
commands:
- echo "Testing.."
|
Build steps are containers
- Define any Docker image as context
- Install the needed tools in custom Docker images, use them as context
| pipeline:
build:
- image: debian
+ image: mycompany/image-with-awscli
commands:
- aws help
|
File changes are incremental
- Woodpecker clones the source code in the beginning pipeline
- Changes to files are persisted through steps as the same volume is mounted to all steps
| # .woodpecker.yml
pipeline:
build:
image: debian
commands:
- touch myfile
a-test-step:
image: debian
commands:
- cat myfile
|
Plugins are straighforward
- 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
| # Dockerfile
FROM laszlocloud/kubectl
COPY deploy /usr/local/deploy
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/deploy"]
|
| # deploy
kubectl apply -f $PLUGIN_TEMPLATE
|
| # .woodpecker.yml
pipeline:
deploy-to-k8s:
image: laszlocloud/my-k8s-plugin
template: config/k8s/service.yml
|
See a detailed plugin example.
