Course Outline
Lightweight CI Sovereignty
- Why cloud-based CI/CD services can lead to vendor lock-in and expose sensitive information risks.
- Woodpecker CI design objectives: simplicity, Docker-native integration, and forge-agnostic flexibility.
- Comparative analysis with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Drone, and Jenkins.
Server and Agent Deployment
- Docker Compose stack configuration: server, agents, and database components.
- Configuration of environment variables and Forge OAuth registration for secure integration.
- Management of agent labels, capacity planning, and resource limits to optimize performance.
Pipeline Authoring
- woodpecker.yml syntax: defining steps, services, and conditions for pipeline execution.
- Selection of Docker images and mounting of workspace directories for consistent environments.
- Implementation of parallel execution and dependency chains to enhance efficiency.
Forge Integration
- Configuration of webhooks for Gitea and Forgejo to facilitate seamless integration.
- Branch filtering, pull request triggers, and tag events for precise pipeline control.
- Commit status reporting and badge generation to provide real-time feedback.
Secrets and Security
- Management of repository, organization, and global secret scopes to ensure secure credential handling.
- Credential injection for deployment stages to maintain secure access to resources.
- Network isolation practices and the differentiation between trusted and untrusted agents to enhance security.
Matrix Builds and Caching
- Implementation of multi-language and multi-version test matrices for comprehensive testing.
- Utilization of cache plugins for dependency directories to improve build times.
- Artifact upload capabilities to S3-compatible storage solutions for efficient data management.
Operations
- Monitoring and analysis of server logs, agent telemetry, and queue inspection for operational insights.
- Horizontal scaling of agents using Docker Swarm or Kubernetes to support increased workload demands.
- Backup and restoration procedures for pipeline history and secrets to ensure data integrity and continuity for government operations.
Requirements
- Intermediate experience with Git and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
- Knowledge of Linux server administration and Docker.
- Familiarity with Gitea or Forgejo administration.
Audience
- DevOps teams in need of a lightweight, self-hosted CI solution for Gitea or Forgejo.
