How to Install Drone on Kali Linux Latest?

Drone is a self-hosted continuous integration and deployment tool that helps automate building, testing, and deploying software. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Drone on Kali Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • Kali Linux Latest installed on your system.
  • Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system.

Step 1 – Install Docker

To install Docker on your system, run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io

Verify the installation by running the following command:

sudo docker --version

Step 2 – Install Docker Compose

To install Docker Compose on your system, run the following commands:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/[VERSION]/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Replace [VERSION] with the latest version of Docker Compose.

Verify the installation by running the following command:

sudo docker-compose --version

Step 3 – Install Drone

To install Drone on your system, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Docker Compose file named docker-compose.yml and add the following code:
version: '3'

services:
  drone-server:
    image: drone/drone:1
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - ./drone:/data
      - ./certs:/etc/drone/certs
    restart: always
    environment:
      - DRONE_HTTP_PROTO=https
      - DRONE_HTTP_HOST=[YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME]
      - DRONE_RPC_SECRET=[RPC_SECRET_VALUE]
    depends_on:
      - drone-agent

  drone-agent:
    image: drone/drone-runner-docker:1
    privileged: true
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    restart: always
    environment:
      - DRONE_RPC_PROTO=https
      - DRONE_RPC_HOST=[YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME]
      - DRONE_RPC_SECRET=[RPC_SECRET_VALUE]
      - DRONE_RUNNER_CAPACITY=2

Replace [YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME] with your domain name and [RPC_SECRET_VALUE] with a secret value that will be used to authenticate the Drone server and agent.

  1. Create two directories named drone and certs in the same directory where your Docker Compose file is located.
mkdir drone
mkdir certs
  1. Generate SSL/TLS certificates for your domain by running the following commands:
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ./certs/drone.key -out ./certs/drone.crt
sudo openssl dhparam -out ./certs/dhparam.pem 2048
  1. Start the Drone server and agent by running the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d

Step 4 – Access the Drone Web UI

Once the Drone server and agent are started successfully, you can access the Drone Web UI by opening your web browser and navigating to your domain name. For example, if your domain name is drone.example.com, you would navigate to https://drone.example.com.

You should see the Drone login page where you can sign up or log in to your Drone account.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we walked you through the steps to install Drone on Kali Linux Latest. You can now use Drone to automate building, testing, and deploying software. Happy coding!
