Deployment
A Woodpecker deployment consists of two parts:
- A server which is the heart of Woodpecker and ships the web interface.
- Next to one server, you can deploy any number of agents which will run the pipelines.
Each agent is able to process one pipeline step by default. If you have four agents installed and connected to the Woodpecker server, your system will process four workflows in parallel.
tip
You can add more agents to increase the number of parallel workflows or set the agent's WOODPECKER_MAX_WORKFLOWS=1
environment variable to increase the number of parallel workflows for that agent.
Which version of Woodpecker should I use?โ
Woodpecker is having two different kinds of releases: stable and next.
Stable releasesโ
We release a new version every four weeks and will release the current state of the main
branch.
If there are security fixes or critical bug fixes, we'll release them directly.
There are no backports or similar.
