Use the Rsync plugin to synchronize files to remote hosts, and execute arbitrary commands on those hosts.
The following parameters are used to configure the plugin:
- user - user to log in as on the remote machines, defaults to
root
- key - private SSH key for the remote machines
- hosts - hostnames or ip-addresses of the remote machines
- port - port to connect to on the remote machines, defaults to
22
- source - source folder to synchronize from, defaults to
./
- target - target folder on remote machines to synchronize to
- include - rsync include filter
- exclude - rsync exclude filter
- recursive - recursively synchronize, defaults to
false
- delete - delete target folder contents, defaults to
false
- args - instruct plugin to use these additional rsync CLI arguments, example:
"--blocking-io"
- prescript - list of commands to execute on remote machines before rsync occurs
- script - list of commands to execute on remote machines after rsync occurs
- log_level - ssh log level, defaults to quiet
It is highly recommended to put your private key into a secret (rsync_key
) so it is not exposed to users. This can be done using the drone-cli:
drone secret add \
--repository your/repo \
--name rsync_key \
--data @./id_rsa \
Add the secret to your .drone.yml
:
kind: pipeline
steps:
- name: rsync
image: drillster/drone-rsync
settings:
user: some-user
key:
from_secret: rsync_key
hosts:
- remote1
source: ./dist
target: ~/packages
secrets: [ rsync_key ]
See the secret guides for additional information on secrets.
kind: pipeline
name: default
steps:
- name: rsync
image: drillster/drone-rsync
settings:
hosts:
- remote1
- remote2
user:
from_secret: rsync_user
key:
from_secret: rsync_key
source: ./dist
target: ~/packages
include:
- "app.tar.gz"
- "app.tar.gz.md5"
exclude:
- "*"
prescript:
- cd ~/packages
- md5sum -c app.tar.gz.md5
- tar -xf app.tar.gz -C ~/app
script:
- cd ~/packages
- md5sum -c app.tar.gz.md5
- tar -xf app.tar.gz -C ~/app
The example above illustrates a situation where an app package (app.tar.gz
) will be deployed to 2 remote hosts (remote1
and remote2
). An md5 checksum will be deployed as well. After deploying, the md5 checksum is used to check the deployed package. If successful the package is extracted.
The script passed to script will be executed on remote machines directly after rsync completes to deploy the files. It will be executed step by step until a command returns a non-zero exit-code. If this happens, the entire plugin will exit and fail the build.
