Hope you enjoy the series! ❤ More CI/CD videos here 👇🏽 kzbin.info/aero/PLHq1uqvAteVsSsrnZimHEf7NJ1MlRhQUj

You're the best. I don't have a need for what you're teaching, now, but it's great to know. In my opinion.

[@MarcelDempers]

No, You're the best! :)

Starting new project and i want to use drone, this video help me a lot with few things that didn't make sense in my head. Thank you very much

[@hannan4235]

Great video! you definitely got a new subscriber. Also at 5:05 threw me out of my chair with the absolute unit of the triceps.

[@MarcelDempers]

"Introduction to Tricep development" - coming soon 💪🏽

Thanks for the kind words 💪🏽Still learning more about it every day 🤓

[@brianhorakh1104]

Hey Marcel, - Brian (ElasticDotVentures) so I'm suggesting that the CLI commands such as base64 could be abstracted into a template (for example) could definitely be automated using _b00t_ templates. 💖 the energy and the drone at the end!

Great content Marcel, thank you for your effort

Hi Marcel! Great video still recurring to your content after years. How did you "connect" the drone.marce.... to the clusterIP when you created the custom domain?? But looking at the ingress, the frontend already links to the drone.domain..... cuz the ingress yaml definition. I bought the Domain through GCP (Cloud DNS) Was trying to create an A type DNS which asks for an ip. Which type should I create

[@MarcelDempers]

You would generally point your domain to the public IP of your ingress controller service, which is production \ cloud environments should be type=LoadBalancer. You can use an A record to the IP, or a CNAME if your cloud provider gives you a domain name for the LB. This means drone is not directly public facing since its a ClusterIP service.

Hi, your videos are awesome! My drone node is pulling this error: drone-server-7746756c6d-mrk2x drone-server {"error":"pq: Could not detect default username. Please provide one explicitly","level":"fatal","msg":"main: cannot initialize server","time":"2023-03-08T14:13:13Z"} Any suggestions as to what the issue might be?

[@chroniclesofj]

This is great. Do you prefer DroneCI over Jenkins and even GitHub Actions?

[@MarcelDempers]

Tough choice, I prefer drone and github actions over Jenkins personally because of its ease of maintenance and setup. When it comes to choosing between drone and github it totally depends on the level of support you need. If you're paying github already, go with actions.

[@adiankonina]

Great video!Thank you

[@dambros]

I wish I could use any generic scm... I really want to use Drone currently but I have no ideia how to make it work with Azure Repos (which unfortunately I can't change). Any tips?

[@phunktionaljohnkey140]

Hi Marcel. You refer to a link below but can't see any such links

[@matheusisquierdo1]

Great tutorial. I had some problems, when "ACTIVATE REPOSITORY" the drone server throw this error "Panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference".

[@filipmacek2424]

Hello Marcel, great content. Can I ask you, which one is better for kubernetes that I self managed and i want to have full CI/CD - drone or jenkins or maybe concourse? Thank you

[@MarcelDempers]

Thanks for the kind words 💪🏽I dont believe there is a "best" CI system. You have to choose what ever pro's and cons aligns best with your teams and maturity. Jenkins has great maturity, most people know how to use it. (And its free) GitHub actions is great for large teams already familiar with GitHub, CI right within the same UI as the source. Drone is very similar to GitHub actions but pure open source and compatible with other Git providers (Gitlab, bitbucket etc) Bit Bucket and GitLab also have their respective CI systems which are great too. Another popular one is Argo, which is more GitOps focused, worth checking it out too.

[@vorandrew]

Great job!

[@hrvojetonkovac6519]

Marcel, what gear do you use for filming these videos? Your videos are amazing.

[@MarcelDempers]

Thanks for the kind words 💪🏽I started with my phone.. nowadays I use a Canon G7x, few lights & a green screen

[@KK-4ever]

What if the service type is NodePort and used in the ingress? Is it mandatory to have the service created with ClusterIP type always for use it in ingress?

[@MarcelDempers]

That should be fine as long as its reachable by the GitHub webhook as stated in 03:00 HTTP is important hence the ingress, but service type should be fine

[@sharktamer]

Great video. Which do you prefer between drone and argo? Drone looks really simple but powerful, but I don't see many people talking about lately (apart from yourself of course).

[@MarcelDempers]

Argo is more popular. personally, i like Drone, its simple and lightweight

[@skillgroom]

I have followed your entire video but while I am opening the url (drone.marceldempers.dev) its not opening and giving a 404 status code. Could you please help me out I am bit confused at DRONE_SERVER_HOST and DRONE_RPC_HOST variable. I guess due to these variables not configured correctly by me am getting 404 status code. Please help me out will be thankful to you. Looking forward for your reply. If you can explain me how I can use nodePort service instead the Ingress and what variables are going to be changed. That will be also helpful to all.

[@Printify3DSolutions]

Hi Bro!!! This is great!!!

[@muhammadmansha4595]

you are legend !

[@K2ThaYo]

Great video as always. Are there any other ways of using drone ci without k8s? Also, this seems kinda easier than Jenkins x isn't it?

[@MarcelDempers]

Yes, checkout the different types of drone runners. It runs almost anywhere. Drone CI and GitHub actions are becoming my favorite. In my opinion, Jenkins X is way more over-engineered than it should be. It requires the internet to be installed in your cluster before it works :)

[@amine250]

Hey Marcel, I've been subscribed for a while now, I really like your content and your unique way of making it :) BTW, drone ci looks much like gitlab CI

[@wadimjarochowicz6675]

Your intro music reminds me of trailer park boys :D

[@harratreco]

New subscriber here...Great content marcel. I would like to hear your thoughts on how much it would cost to run such a setup on Digital Ocean or vultr? or a general ball park. Thanks!

[@MarcelDempers]

Thanks for the kind words 💪🏽Digital ocean is cheap, I pay roughly $20 AU per node including a load balancer.. Covered a basic cluster here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqfJc3Z7Yt2aeLs

[@justinbimbrahw6379]

Love the intro music! What is that song?

[@MarcelDempers]

Thanks 💪🏽 All the songs are in the description if you want to support those artists

[@justinbimbrahw6379]

@@MarcelDempers Awesome! Thanks! By the way, what do you think of Github Actions for CI? How is Drone IO better? Can you please comment? Thank you.

[@MarcelDempers]

@@justinbimbrahw6379 I don't believe either is better than each other. GitHub actions is great for teams familiar with GitHub making adoption and UX easier. DroneCI is great for teams looking for pure open source solution that's not tied to specific source provider (GitHub) and can be used for other providers too. So depends on your requirements\team dynamics

[@nroose]

Already by about 4 minutes it seems crazy that the "jobs" you are talking about are not implemented using Kubernetes Jobs. Or are they? Just using the word "jobs" without saying whether they are Kubernetes jobs is bad.

Some of those files have trailing spaces and/or are dos files. Please don't do that.
