Offline git clone Drone CI using proxy as Nexus

Question

I am running :

• drone-server on top of kubernetes
• and drone-kubernetes-runner to dynamically provisioning runner as pods.

After investigation, i found the Pod YAML of each runner defines the 1st step "git clone" using the image drone/git.

I am running the pipeline in offline environment. I have to specify nexus.company.local/drone/git instead of drone/git to avoid fetching from the public registry.

I search everywhere, but no way. Even image_pull_secrets is valuable for explicit steps that i can define. It's NOT valuable for implicit steps like the "clone" step

Answer 1

You could disable the automatic cloning and add an explicit step, specifying your own image with the nexus mirror origin.

For example:

kind: pipeline

clone:
  disable: true

steps:
  - name: clone
    image: nexus.company.local/drone/git

Answer 2

DRONE_RUNNER_CLONE_IMAGE=nexus.company.local/drone/git
