Add linode provider

[guisea]

This is an implementation of a driver for Linode.

[guisea]

As a note. The "user-data" in this driver is a bash script to do the same job as the Hetzner driver which uses cloud-init.

I battled for a long time (days) to get this working with cloud-init on Linode. However there is something funny with Linode config I could not iron out. As a workaround utilizing their "StackScripts" implementation we can create agents on demand.

A public "StackScript" I have created allows this to happen from the Linode end.

Thanks for the work. The code looks pretty well already. I just need to test it.

I just found this community post regarding cloud-init support:

• https://www.linode.com/community/questions/22350/cloud-init-support-still-coming (Their staff commented 1day ago 🙈 )

Haha, yeah. That looks promising. But seems to have been coming for years already. Being in NZ I deploy resources in the closest GEO which is not in the Beta sadly. The StackScript/Bash solution works no matter anyway. I was using for a time this kind of method to get around the shortfall while using Drone Autoscaler. I did code a linode driver for that too some long time back ;) Never released it, was not sure of their licensing model. But after banging ones head re: cloud-init you just give up and find something that works and this is where the bash implementation sits ;)

They added cloud-init to more regions now, so maybe it is already supported in your region as well. Apart from that it lgtm.

Not sure myself either is a direct dependency. I will check out the cloud-init again in a few days should I get time.

Awesome. Sorry for the long silence 🙈 Just poke me if I am missing it again.

could you merge master into the feature branch :)

Metadata/userdata/cloud-init is accessible to everything running on the agent, not only root.
https://www.linode.com/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/metadata/#access-the-metadata-service-api

So you should not save the woodpecker token in that.

I could not find anything in the documentation about how the stackscripts are retrieved by the machine on boot.

Unless the tokens are one-time use, I haven't looked into that.

go mod tidy run against this branch and pushed. Is now correctly shown as direct dependency

"... This branch has conflicts that must be resolved ..."

Can you merge target branch into pull head branch :)

[guisea]

Hows this now? I have merged changes from main and updated the provider to go.woodpecker-ci.org/woodpecker/v2
@6543 @anbraten

Also gave things a quick test on one of my Linode accounts to ensure everything is still in order. And it was

[runephilosof-karnovgroup]

The user data service was out of beta January 2nd 2024.

[guisea]

It is still not available in all data centres. For me the closest is ap-southeast in Sydney. This region does not have metadata service
