Woodpecker CI

Woodpecker CI is a simple, yet powerful CI/CD engine designed with great extensibility. It serves as a lightweight, self-hosted alternative to proprietary platforms like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, and CircleCI. Written primarily in Go, Woodpecker can be installed in various ways including Docker and Kubernetes, and runs with SQLite as the default database requiring only around 100 MB of RAM for the server and 30 MB for agents in idle mode.

The project supports a rich plugin ecosystem and is actively used in production by platforms like Codeberg. Its pipeline configuration is straightforward and uses YAML syntax, making it easy to define build, test, and deployment workflows. Woodpecker integrates seamlessly with popular Git hosting platforms including GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and Forgejo, providing flexible CI/CD automation for teams of any size.
