woodpecker VS terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner

https://github.com/woodpecker-ci/woodpecker

Is anyone using woodpecker? It's a self-hosted CI/CD server forked from Drone. Really good, and actively developed.

Run your own container registry, build and host everything yourself, dont rely on others. Docker for example has a option for that but imo its very basic and limited. Harbor is more advanced but still not overly complicated. You could add build workers to that and automate your entire pipeline, but maybe for a single image thats overkill. But good to have those options in the future. Things to look at for example: Gitea (lighter) / Gitlab (more heavy), Drone.io, Woodpecker

> I wish it had some sort of CI like github actions or bitbucket pipeline

I use Gitea with Drone CI and it works pretty well: https://www.drone.io/

Some might also prefer the Woodpecker CI fork due to the license: https://woodpecker-ci.org/

I setup Drone as a part of my migration away from GitLab Omnibus and have no complaints so far: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-...

https://woodpecker-ci.org/ Open source clone of drone.io

https://www.drone.io/ or the more open fork https://woodpecker-ci.org/

I’m trying to migrate of my personal repos from GitHub to Codeberg. The biggest problem is to find a replacement for GitHub Actions (the free offering is so generous), and my current solution for that is to self-host an instance of Woodpecker CI [1].

I’d like to see even more diversity in Git hosting beyond “let’s all migrate from X to Y”, and for that to happen, Forgejo (a soft fork of Gitea) has already began implementing federation [2].

Hetzner starting with https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne..., plus registry using DigitalOcean.

However in the end my goto solution is k3s on hetzner cloud since it's got support for load balancers, ingress controllers with public IPS, persistent storage etc. It's cheaper than all the other cloud providers, although you need to run some code it doesn't have a 1 click solution. so I sold my hardware and used this https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner. I run it when I need a kube cluster and kill it by deleting the project.

You can look at this: https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner

This whole setup is around 70euros per month, and I can enjoy usenet and torrent downloads of Linux ISOs to constantly peak at 1Gbps speed. All of this is HA with Kubernetes using this.

OpenSUSE MicroOS, we use it here. Another good option would be Fedora CoreOS

It's not even close to major public cloud providers, but this is my setup:

* https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... (Terraform, Kubernetes bootstrap)

* Flux for CI

* nginx-ingress + Hetzner Loadbalancer (thanks to https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-cloud-controller-mana...)

* Hetzner storage volumes (thanks to https://github.com/hetznercloud/csi-driver)

Kube-Hetzner supports Hetzner Cloud loadbalancers and volumes out of the box, though it also supports other components.

With Hetzner VMs and k3s one could run a k8 cluster with amazingly low cost. There are even ready-made repos that make it lighting fast to deploy and easy to maintain...

Even Hetzner maintains a few repos for that:
