Overview
Woodpecker CI is a community fork of Drone CI that provides a lightweight, container-native continuous integration and deployment system. Pipelines are defined in YAML files stored alongside your code and run in Docker containers, making them reproducible and easy to reason about. It integrates with Gitea, GitHub, GitLab, and Forgejo out of the box.
Where it falls short of Dropbox
- No built-in artifact storage; needs external S3 or similar
- Plugin ecosystem smaller than GitHub Actions
- Limited matrix build support compared to enterprise CI systems
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
