Hi there!

Any advice how can i use

Tried to put agent hostname there, to no avail.

Simple env command in .drone.yml outputs no such variable DRONE_INSTANCE

Thanks a lot in advance!

There is no setup or special instructions to use this feature. For me it just worked.

Simple env command in .drone.yml outputs no such variable DRONE_INSTANCE

Is it documented somewhere that DRONE_INSTANCE exists? I am not aware of an environment variable with this name. I am only aware of the CI_SYSTEM_HOST environment variable.

This will not work with the agent hostname. The instance value is the address (e.g. url hostname) of your Drone server, not your agent. The purpose of the instance condition is so that you can share a single yaml for multiple Drone installations, and limit steps to specific installations (by server address)

Thanks for the info! It totally made everything clear.

About a variable - almost every other condition, like branch/tag/event has corresponding env variable, so i looked for one, that’s all.
