Plugin Step Settings

This topic provides settings for the CI Plugin step.

Plugins are Docker containers that perform predefined tasks and are configured as steps in your stage. Plugins can be used to deploy code, publish artifacts, send notifications, and more.

Name​

The unique name for this step.

ID​

See Entity Identifier Reference.

Description​

Text string.

Tags​

See Tags Reference.

Container Registry​

Harness Connector for the container registry where the plugin image is located.

Image​

The name of the Plugin Docker image. The image name should include the tag and will default to the latest tag if unspecified.

You can use any Docker image from any Docker registry, including Docker images from private registries.

Optional Configurations​

Privileged​

Enable this option to run the container with escalated privileges. This is the equivalent of running a container with the Docker --privileged flag.

Settings​

Plugin-specific settings. See Drone plugins docs.

Image Pull Policy​

Select an option to set the pull policy for the image.

  • Always: The kubelet queries the container image registry to resolve the name to an image digest every time the kubelet launches a container. If the kubelet encounters an exact digest cached locally, it uses its cached image; otherwise, the kubelet downloads (pulls) the image with the resolved digest, and uses that image to launch the container.
  • If Not Present: The image is pulled only if it isn't already present locally.
  • Never: The kubelet assumes that the image exists locally and doesn't try to pull the image.

Run as User​

Set the value to specify the user id for all processes in the pod, running in containers. See Set the security context for a pod.

Set container resources​

These settings specify the maximum resources used by the container at runtime.

Limit Memory​

Maximum memory that the container can use. You can express memory as a plain integer or as a fixed-point number using the suffixes G or M. You can also use the power-of-two equivalents Gi and Mi.

Limit CPU​

The maximum number of cores that the container can use. CPU limits are measured in cpu units. Fractional requests are allowed: you can specify one hundred millicpu as 0.1 or 100m. See Resource units in Kubernetes.

Timeout​

Timeout for the step. Once the timeout is reached, the step fails, and the Pipeline execution continues.
