woodpecker

Woodpecker is an open-source CI/CD engine described as simple yet powerful, with a focus on extensibility. It is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license, with documentation under CC BY-SA 4.0. Installation and resources: Woodpecker offers multiple installation methods, documented in its administration guide. It runs with SQLite as the default database and, according to the README, requires roughly 100 MB of RAM for the server and 30 MB for the agent at runtime in idle mode. Extensibility: The project can be extended through plugins. A plugin overview website lists both core-team and community-maintained plugins, making it easier to browse available integrations. Adoption: Woodpecker is used as the main CI/CD engine at Codeberg, a Git hosting platform focused on privacy and free software development. Community and support: The project accepts support through Open Collective and GitHub Sponsors. It maintains documentation at woodpecker-ci.org, a self-hosted Weblate instance for translations, and a Matrix space for community chat. The README also references CI status, code coverage, release, Docker pull, OpenSSF best practices, and pre-commit.ci badges.
