plugin-drone-volume-cache/DOCS.md

Use the Volume-cache plugin to preserve files and directories between builds. Because it uses a mounted volume, it requires repositories using it to enable the "Trusted" flag.

Config

The following parameters are used to configure the plugin:

• restore - instruct plugin to restore cache, can be true or false
• rebuild - instruct plugin to rebuild cache, can be true or false
• mount - list of folders to cache

Examples

pipeline:
  restore-cache:
    image: drillster/drone-volume-cache
    restore: true
    mount:
      - ./node_modules
    # Mount the cache volume, needs "Trusted"
    volumes:
      - /tmp/cache:/cache

  build:
    image: node
    commands:
      - npm install

  rebuild-cache:
    image: drillster/drone-volume-cache
    rebuild: true
    mount:
      - ./node_modules
    # Mount the cache volume, needs "Trusted"
    volumes:
      - /tmp/cache:/cache

The example above illustrates a typical Node.js project Drone configuration. It caches the ./node_modules directory to a mounted volume on the host system: /tmp/cache. This prevents npm from downloading and installing the dependencies for every build.
