Deploy on vm instance

Drone Support
1

Hello, i have configured a pipeline but I have stalled on the deploy, it is currently cloning the repository, doing the build, building the image and pushing it to google container registry.

im trying to add a deploy step, but i only see kubernetes deploy examples, how can i add the deploy step to my google compute engine virtual machine instance? can i use the same step to deploy to another cloud provider like digitalocean droplet? how you do this?

this is my actually .drone.yml setup:

kind: pipeline
name: my-app

steps:
- name: test
  image: node:11-alpine
  commands:
  - npm install
  - npm test

- name: publish  
  image: plugins/gcr
  settings:
    repo: project-id/project-name
    dockerfile: docker/node/Dockerfile
    tags: latest
    json_key:
      from_secret: google_credentials

when people ask me how to do something in Drone, my first question is usually “how would you do this on your laptop from the command line”? Take those commands and paste them in to your Drone yaml.

For example, maybe you would deploy to a VM using ssh:

steps:
- name: deploy
  commands:
  - ssh root@foo.com docker stop ...
  - ssh root@foo.com docker pull ...
  - ssh root@foo.com docker run ...

In some cases, you can find plugins where people have encapsulated common operations and published them as re-usable components. For example, there is an existing ssh plugin that you can use to simplify ssh-based operations.

- name: deploy
  image: appleboy/drone-ssh
  settings:
    host: foo.com
    username: root
    password: 1234
    port: 22
    script:
      - docker stop ...
      - docker pull ...
      - docker run ...
