Woodpecker CI¶

Woodpecker CI can be used to automatically deploy a Dokku application via the official dokku/ci-docker-image. The simplest example is as follows:

when:
  - event: push
    branch: main

clone:
  git:
    image: woodpeckerci/plugin-git
    settings:
      partial: false
      depth: 0

steps:
  - name: deploy
    image: dokku/ci-docker-image
    environment:
      GIT_REMOTE_URL: ssh://dokku@dokku.me:22/appname
      SSH_PRIVATE_KEY:
          from_secret: DOKKU_ME_SSH_DEPLOY_KEY
    commands:
      - dokku-deploy

The standard clone stage is replaced with one that performs a complete clone of the repository (the default is a shallow clone, which dokku would reject).
A GIT_REMOTE_URL and a SSH_PRIVATE_KEY (with help of the from_secret directive) suffice to carry out a deployment.
