Deploy Drone.io CI on Digital Ocean with Terraform

First you need to:

• Create a Github API token
• Get a Digital Ocean token
• Generate a random secret for DO - use a random password generator

Then in order to run:

• Clone the repository and run with in docker with:

With Docker:

docker run -i -t hashicorp/terraform:light terraform apply \
    -var "DO_TOKEN=<YOUR-DIGITAL-OCEAN-TOKEN>" \
    -var "DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT=<VCS-CLIENT-ID>" \
    -var "DRONE_GITHUB_SECRET=<VCS-CLIENT-SECRET>"

OR like it's still 2013:

Ensure you have terraform installed and then:

terraform apply \
    -var "DO_TOKEN=<YOUR-DIGITAL-OCEAN-TOKEN>" \
    -var "DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT=<VCS-CLIENT-ID>" \
    -var "DRONE_GITHUB_SECRET=<VCS-CLIENT-SECRET>"

Alternatively, you can set the following environment variables to not have to declare vars:

• TF_VAR_DO_TOKEN
• TF_VAR_DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT
• TF_VAR_DRONE_GITHUB_SECRET

OR create a terraform.tfvars file in root with the content below.

# Digital Ocean
droplet_name            = "drone-ci"
droplet_region          = "LON1"
droplet_size            = "512"
DO_TOKEN                = ""

# GitHub API token
DRONE_GITHUB_CLIENT     = ""
DRONE_GITHUB_SECRET     = ""

# Drone related
DRONE_SECRET            = ""

..and run with terraform apply in the directory
