Introduction In the realm of modern software development, the use of containerization has revolutionized the way applications are developed, tested, and deployed. Docker, a popular containerization platform, allows developers to create lightweight and isolated environments known as containers. However, when dealing with scenarios involving multiple containers that require isolated environments, testing and debugging can become quite a challenge. Enter Docker-in-Docker (DinD), a powerful tool that alleviates these pains and streamlines the development process. ...

Let’s say you have multiple Drone CI runners. By some reasons, you want to route pipelines to a particular Drone CI runner. How do you do that? The answer is to use the DRONE_RUNNER_LABELS environment variable to label your Dronce CI runner and in the Drone CI pipeline, specify the the label value under the node section. Scenario Without examples, it’s hard to understand. So let’s go through an example. ...

Few months ago, I wrote a post about DroneCI: How to configure pipeline to build and push docker image. It worked well for multiple personal projects of mine. However, recently I am working on a new project which I want to deploy the image in the VPS instances with different platforms and architecture. 1. Solution Thanks to the Drcone CI plugin drone-docker-buildx, the task becomes a lot of easier. Here you go. ...

Sometimes we need to build Dockerfile to the docker image and push it to registry in CI pipeline. For instance, my development environment is windows/amd64, but my VPS is linux/arm64. At the end, I want to host the service in my VPS. Thus, it will be easy to build the docker image inside the CI pipeline. In this post, I will show how to configure the pipeline to build and push docker image in DroneCI, which is a self-service Continuous Integration platform for busy development teams. ...
