# Drone exec runner (M2). Runs on cc-ci itself (not in a container) so CI pipelines can drive # host `abra` to deploy real recipes onto the swarm (plan §4.2, §8: exec runner). The Drone # *server* is deployed separately via abra (scripts/deploy-drone.sh) as a swarm service. # # The exec runner is drone-runner-exec (the only exec runner upstream ever shipped; see # DECISIONS.md "CI engine"). It connects to the server over RPC at drone.ci.commoninternet.net, # sharing DRONE_RPC_SECRET with the server via the sops-rendered EnvironmentFile. { pkgs, config, lib, ... }: let # MAX_TESTS (plan §4.2/§4.3 resource safety): max CI builds the exec runner runs at once. Drone # queues the rest in its native pending-build queue (no custom queue). THE SINGLE concurrency # knob — nothing else caps recipe-ci parallelism (the .drone.yml concurrency.limit was removed: # one knob, one place). Bounds how many test apps can be live at once. # # Raised to 2 (operator request 2026-06-09) so two recipes can be tested in parallel (e.g. immich # and plausible under active development at once). Verified safe on the current node (Hetzner cpx22, # ~7.6 GiB / 4 vCPU — NOTE: smaller than the original 28 GiB this was written for): a full immich CI # stack measured ~1 GiB (server+ML+pg+redis) with multiple GiB free, so two concurrent recipes fit. # Concurrent-run safety is the harness's job at ANY capacity (docs/concurrency.md): per-run # ABRA_DIR recipe trees, per-app-domain flocks, and a flock-probe janitor that reaps a crashed # build's orphan immediately (held lock = live run, never touched).
