Use the Drone plugin to provision with ansible. The following parameters are used to configure this plugin:

• inventory - define the inventory file (default: staging)
• inventories - define multiple inventory files to deploy
• inventory-path- define the path in the project for ansible inventory files (default: provisioning/inventory)
• playbook - define the playbook file (default: provisioning/provision.yml)
• ssh-key - define the ssh-key to use for connecting to hosts

The following is a sample configuration in your .drone.yml file:

pipeline:
  deploy-staging:
    image: rics3n/drone-ansible:2
    inventory: staging
    secrets: [ ssh_key ]
    when:
      branch: master

pipeline:
  deploy-staging:
    image: rics3n/drone-ansible:2
    inventories: [ staging, staging_2 ]
    secrets: [ ssh_key ]
    when:
      branch: master

To add the ssh key use drone secrets via the cli

drone secret add \
  -repository user/repo \
  -image rics3n/drone-ansible \
  -name ssh_key \
  -value @Path/to/.ssh/id_rsa

Exposed Drone variables to Ansible which can be used in any playbook:

commit_tag -> DRONE_TAG
commit_sha -> DRONE_COMMIT_SHA

Build the binary with the following commands:

go build
go test

Build the docker image with the following commands:

CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -a -tags netgo
docker build --rm=true -t rics3n/drone-ansible:2 .

Please note incorrectly building the image for the correct x64 linux and with GCO disabled will result in an error when running the Docker image:

docker: Error response from daemon: Container command
'/bin/drone-ansible' not found or does not exist..

Execute from a project directory:

docker run --rm=true \
  -e PLUGIN_SSH_KEY=${SSH_KEY} \
  -e DRONE_WORKSPACE=/go/src/github.com/username/test \
  -v $(pwd):/go/src/github.com/username/test \
  -w /go/src/github.com/username/test \
  rics3n/drone-ansible:2
