Drone FPM Plugin

Drone plugin for fpm.

This project generates an entrypoint script for drone based upon fpm -h output to combine repeatable, simple, configuration as code from drone with the ease and versatility of package management from fpm.

My personal use case is that I want to be able to define Debian package creation in code for my projects one time, and then copy and paste that to all future projects that require Debian packaging 👌.

Usage

This plugin supports all long hand fpm flags. All flag options can be used as plugin settings by substituting all - with _. For example, the output type fpm option looks like this:

-t, --output-type OUTPUT_TYPE the type of package you want to create (deb, rpm, solaris, etc)

For this option, the shorthand -t is ignored, and the drone plugin accepts output_type.

For flags that do not have input (--verbose as an example), the drone plugin ignores the input given and simply passes the flag to fpm, so any value would do (verbose: true as an example).

There is one special option for the drone plugin named command_arguments that is used for the positional arguments required for the input type in use. For more clarity, you can see how this is used in the entrypoint template.

For a complete list of options, see the fpm documentation

Example

This example creates a Debian package with a systemd unit file for a binary named foo:

- name: build debian package
  image: quay.io/betterengineering/drone-fpm:latest
  settings:
    name: foo
    version: v0.0.1
    input_type: dir
    output_type: deb
    package: out/foo-v0.0.1.deb
    deb_systemd: foo.service
    command_arguments: out/foo=/usr/local/bin/

Shell

This example shows how to run this plugin via docker run:

docker run --rm -v $(PWD):/workdir -w /workdir -e PLUGIN_DEB_SYSTEMD=/workdir/test/generate-entrypoint.service -e PLUGIN_NAME=generate-entrypoint -e PLUGIN_VERSION=snapshot-$(git log -n 1 --pretty=format:"%H") -e PLUGIN_INPUT_TYPE=dir -e PLUGIN_OUTPUT_TYPE=deb -e PLUGIN_PACKAGE=/workdir/out/generate-entrypoint-snapshot-$(git log -n 1 --pretty=format:"%H").deb -e PLUGIN_COMMAND_ARGUMENTS=/workdir/out/generate-entrypoint=/usr/local/bin/ quay.io/betterengineering/drone-fpm:$(git log -n 1 --pretty=format:"%H")

Tests

To run unit tests, run the following:

make test

This project also packages the entrypoint generation binary as a very basic end to end test. To test this project end to end, run the following:

make end-to-end-test
