Please comment on this issue if you are using Woodpecker.

It would mean a lot. Would keep the spirit, and help convincing new users.

Add the nature of your usage as well: company / private, build volume per week

[paweldaborowski]

In our legal services company we are using Woodpecker as a main CI/CD platform to great satisfaction, with hundreds of builds per day. It's tailor cut to our needs, simple and flexible. Friendly license is a great plus.
Thoroughly recommended!

I am starting to learn CICD (from a sysadmin POV), and after testing Drone, I move to Woodpecker. I was able to link woodpecker to my internal gitea server (in https).

I'm currently still mostly testing and not yet fully using it

[PeterAlabaster]

I've been testing / building a knowledge base on different CI platforms for my company over the past few months intermittently. Tried a myriad of different platforms but some were overly complex and restrictive. We are a smallish company who develop solutions on the odoo framework mostly, but also do other things.

I landed on drone but the gray licensing lead me here. We've started the process of migrating active projects over to a woodpecker system we set up, after verifying it suits most of our needs (and after you addressed some of our issues!)

We have a use case where we have many projects which utilize mostly similar pipeline steps, so the custom plugin functionality is amazing for managing the pipeline scripts centrally, and managing which steps get executed on a per-project basis using the yaml file. This way, if our release process changes slightly in the future, we can just update that plugin and have the change propagate to all projects if we want.

Being able to override the default clone step with a plugin is great, as most of our repositories are a mix of private gitea --> private/public github submodules, and we weren't willing to change everything to use https instead of git@, so we just inject the private key (whose pubkey is attached to a robot user on both vcs systems) and clone recursively.

We've opted for building / testing on PR opening, and additional steps of releasing / notifying a new image upon merge, so we will probably have ~20-40 builds a week once all our projects are on there.

Just want to say thanks for your work on this!

I am using Woodpecker for a POC/Startup I am working on. I have it running out of my house on my personal Docker Swarm. I wanted a Container first CI. I have used a lot of different CI's on my own and at my day job - Jenkins, Bamboo, Jenkins, Gitlab CI. Woodpecker, and Drone by extension, was what I wanted.

[3nprob]

Just starting out evaluating here. Really appreciate the spirit of the project <3

[cschildknecht-fielddata]

I'm just in evaluation of container based CI/CD. I came here from Drone project, since OSS is not viable for Kubernetes.
Thanks for your work!

[inverse]

We adopted Woodpecker moving from a Drone 0.8 setup. Migration was pretty painless and our engineers are happier with proper multi-pipeline support.

We have 400+ repos and are doing around 4k builds a week.

Thanks for all your hard work :)

I see that Gitea is an interest for many. A Gitea push with OAuth would worth the effort..

Definitely of interest for me. I'm a current Drone user (just a small personal setup) but since they got picked up by Harness they fell into a blackhole and at some point even disabled issue tracking on GitHub -- so much for that "vibrant, opensource community" (apologies for sounding bitter) -- so I've been keeping a watchful eye on Woodpecker's Gitea support for a while.

[helmut72]

I use Gitea as my Git repository for my own Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yml to manage my private server. My environment is a good timesaver, but there are some boring and error prone tasks left. To fill this gap I installed Woodpecker. All in all Woodpecker looks good, but I found a strange behavior: #130 (comment)

Edit: BTW, I'm using Woodpecker just for one day. For now it's more playing with it and to learn more about CI.

[ChanceNCounter]

I too use Gitea, self-hosted. I haven't had a need for local CI for a while, but the last time I used it, my Jenkins instance had gone kaput, so I spun up Woodpecker a few months ago just to have it ready.

I finally needed it today. I'm currently trying to suss out which parts of the Drone API are and aren't working as I expect, but otherwise 💯 I'm on board.

[Eragonfr]

I'm a user of woodpecker too. Just using it on my personal gitea instance. It I run the server on my RockPro64 board, and I'm using my computer as the agent (My board will never support to run more than one build at a time anyway).

[simmstein]

I use woodpecker every single day.

[imolein]

I used Drone CI for years, but after the v1.0 I got pretty annoyed with it, especially that they ripped out useful feature to sell them as enterprise features. Then they were bought by harness which finally made me search for an alternative and I found woodpecker-ci and from one day to another suddently l had all my missing features back (and more new ones).

Long story short, I happily use woodpecker daily, so thanks to the whole team/community :)

[gapodo]

I use Woodpecker for my private projects (docker, K8s and local backend), as well as within the Forgejo community (where I'm part of the team maintaining our CI), which has migrated the Drone pipelines from our upstream Gitea over to Woodpecker and hasn't looked back once.

While I'm still forced to use gitlab at work, I've started to convince the infra team I'm a part of to consider using woodpecker for some of our use cases, as it's easier to handle, more portable, gives us better performance and doesn't have us relying on gitlab for everything.

tl;dr Works great for "home" use, communities and starts to make an entry at my work place due to the benefits over the "large / well known" solutions.

[wiktor-k]

I'm using Woodpecker hosted by Codeberg and it's really great! Of course there are rough edges here and there but having such a complex system and it being open-source is really mind-blowing!

Thanks for your hard-work and have a nice day. 👋

[dessalines]

We're starting to move from drone -> woodpecker for Lemmy, including our server, and UI. It's great to have a responsive CI community again, because drone felt dead.

[foxyseta]

I am currently using Woodpecker on Codeberg as a private. It's great! I just look up what I need in the docs and everything works fine.

[tionis]

I am currently using woodpecker as my main CI and backend of some simple git-apps.
It's been working pretty much flawless, and I considered switching to Gitea's actions, but I like woodpeckers simple container based design more, and it just works.
So thanks for all the good work!

[gedw99]

I am using woodpecker with self hosted server on Hetzner. The auoscale feature I am planning to try.

there is a docker cross build that can act as a Mac . Sourcehut use it . Hoping to bring that up on woodpecker so Mac builds are possible. Will be useful for signing .

[ghost]

I'm using Woodpecker with a self hosted server on Hetzner as well. So far I managed to cover every CI step I had in mind. Woodpecker runs builds, tests, SAST, publishes releases, gpg signs checksum files and so on.
Writing the pipeline feels very intuitive after a short introduction. This is the first CI solution I'm using btw.
I'd also like to highlight the docs. I think they are very well written.

[rigrig]

I've been using it for a while now for my private projects, works great for my needs.

[philipkozeny]

We've also migrated away from Gitlab Enterprise edition to Gitea and Woodpecker and our team is really happy about that change. I would say that our setup is now running even better than before.

[vyskocilm]

Use it on my small private k8s server as a part of my migration projects to codeberg.

[Lite5h4dow]

Im a user, looking to move from drone CI. Gitness is a hot turd. using Gitea & Drone rn, cant seem to solve a Service acc issue with woodpecker for my main usecase

[6543]

feel free to ask via matrix (chat) how to solve it ... almost all things should be possible and if not, it would be interesting to know to us :)
