Drone is a Continuous Integration platform built on container technology. Every build is executed inside an ephemeral Docker container, giving developers complete control over their build environment with guaranteed isolation.

Goals

Drone's prime directive is to help teams ship code like GitHub. Drone is easy to install, setup and maintain and offers a powerful container-based plugin system. Drone aspires to be an industry-wide replacement for Jenkins.

Documentation

Drone documentation is organized into several categories:

• Setup Guide
• Build Guide
• Plugin Guide
• CLI Reference
• API Reference

Documentation for 0.5 (unstable)

Community, Help
