Packaging

If you repackage it, we encourage to build from source, which requires internet connection.

For offline builds, we also offer a tarball with all vendored dependencies and a pre-built web UI on the release page.

Distribute web UI in own directory

If you do not want to embed the web UI in the binary, you can compile a custom root path for the web UI into the binary.

Add external_web to the tags and use the build flag -X go.woodpecker-ci.org/woodpecker/v3/web.webUIRoot=/some/path to set a custom path.

Example:

go build -tags 'external_web' -ldflags '-s -w -extldflags "-static" -X go.woodpecker-ci.org/woodpecker/v3/version.Version=3.12.0 -X go.woodpecker-ci.org/woodpecker/v3/web.webUIRoot=/nix/store/maaajlp8h5gy9zyjgfhaipzj07qnnmrl-woodpecker-WebUI-3.12.0' -o dist/woodpecker-server go.woodpecker-ci.org/woodpecker/v3/cmd/server
