Discontinued Gitness is an Open Source developer platform with Source Control management, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. [Moved to: https://github.com/harness/gitness]

The accompanying code for this blog i.e. the demo sources is available on my GitHub repo. Let us clone the same on to our machine,
The demo sources has little utility called gitea-config that helps in creating the oAuth application in Gitea and clone and create the quickstart repository as drone-quickstart on Gitea. We will use drone-quickstart* repository to validate our setup.
Kubernetes has become the de facto Cloud Native deployment platform, solving one of the main Cloud Native problems: "deploying" applications quickly, efficiently and reliably. It offers radically easy scaling and fault tolerance. Despite this, not many Continuous Integration(CI) systems utilize the benefits of Kubernetes. None of the existing build systems offer the capabilities that are native to Kubernetes like in-cluster building, defining the build resources using CRDs, leveraging underlying security and access controls, etc. These missing features of Kubernetes made the Cloud Native architectures to be less effective and more complex.
In this blog, let see how we setup kind and Drone together on our laptops to build Kubernetes native pipelines which could then be moved to cloud platforms like Harness CI for a broader team based development.
Let me introduce an Open Source project Drone -- a cloud native self-service Continuous Integration platform -- . 10 years ago old Drone was the first CI tool to leverage containers to run pipeline steps independent of each other., Today, with over 100M+ Docker pulls, and the most GitHub stars of any Continuous Integration solution, Drone offers a mature, Kubernetes based CI system harnessing the scaling and fault tolerance characteristics of Cloud Native architectures. Drone help solve the next part of the puzzle by running Kubernetes native in-cluster builds.
All linux distributions adds envsubst via gettext package. On macOS, it can be installed using Homebrew like brew install gettext.
