Drone.IO is a CI/CD platform that uses Docker Containers for each pipeline step. This makes it easy to use existing Docker containers as steps in your pipeline. You can go futher and create special containers that are designed to be used as...

In the previous post we discussed how to provision, and keep TLS certs in synch across multiple Caddy instances. In this post we will look at how to dynamically create and distribute Caddy configuration to multiple nodes using Hashicorp's N...
