Container-native pipelines with Drone CI
summary
Drone CI is a self‑hosted, container‑native CI system (server ~60MB, runner <20MB) that runs each pipeline in an ephemeral workspace volume, clones the repo, launches step containers and wipes the volume so builds are reproducible. Pipelines use images for steps and services, plugins are just plugins as containers that wrap build, push and notification workflows. To avoid Docker Hub rate limits after Nov 2 2020 it supports organization image-pull secrets so admins supply authenticated dockerconfig.json to all pipelines, keeping pulls reliable.
