How to Install Drone on Clear Linux Latest

Drone is a popular open-source continuous integration and delivery platform that is built on top of the Docker technology. Installing Drone on Clear Linux Latest requires a few steps, which are outlined below.

Step 1: Install Docker

Drone requires Docker to function properly. If you don't have Docker already installed, you can do so by following these steps:

  1. Open a terminal window.

  2. Run the following command to add the Docker repository to your system:

    $ swupd bundle-add containers-basic

  3. Run the following command to install Docker:

    $ systemctl enable --now docker.socket

  4. Verify that Docker is installed correctly by running the following command:

    $ docker version

Step 2: Install Drone

Once Docker is installed, you can install Drone by following these steps:

  1. Open a terminal window.

  2. Run the following command to download and install the Drone package:

    $ curl https://downloads.drone.io/release/latest/drone.tar.gz | tar zx

  3. You should see a directory named drone in the current directory. Change to this directory:

    $ cd drone

  4. In the drone directory, you will find a file named .env. Open this file in a text editor and set the values for the various environment variables. For example, you can set the DRONE_SERVER_HOST variable to the IP address or hostname of your server, and the DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET variables to the OAuth client ID and secret for your GitHub application.

  5. Once you have set the environment variables, run the following command to start the Drone server and agent:

    $ docker-compose up -d

    This will start the Drone server and agent in detached mode.

  6. You can now access the Drone web interface by navigating to http://<your_server_address>:<port> in your web browser, where your_server_address is the IP address or hostname of your server, and port is the port you specified in the DRONE_SERVER_PORT environment variable.
