Trigger a Build |
There are two ways to trigger a manual build.
The first way way is to go to your project's settings page and select "Build Now."
The second way to trigger a manual build is to make a web request POST to your project's build URL using your local computer. Your project's manual build url is located under project > settings > general
If you are a linux user, then this is very easy to do with the cUrl utility. The exact command syntax can be found along with your build URL on project > settings > general
Here is another example:
curl -X POST http://www.drone.io/tdburke/routes.go?key=76e4asdsdasd232323sae776c75c1b742bad97
Many users want will want their projects to build automatically when a commit is made to their repository.
This is enabled by setting up a "build hook" on your repository host. A build hook makes a basic web request POST to your Drone.io project's build URL. Your project's build URL is located on project > settings > general
Builds hooks are sometimes called "Service Hooks" or simply "Services", and setting them up varies slightly depending on the site hosting the repository.
Here are detailed guides for setting up a Drone.io build hook on popular hosts:
