Feature comparison between drone and woodpecker

[mqus]

Hi! I'm currently using drone and am considering a switch to woodpecker on my gitea instance. Is there something like a feature comparison, like things one would lose and things one would gain?
In the faq it only mentions governance and licensing, which is a part of it, but this on its own is not that important to me.

Why? What's wrong with Drone?

feature comparison

I'm not aware of. Comparison to which edition?

faq it only mentions governance and licensing
Drone is published under Polyform Small Business license

Which is kinda misleading.

Make a PR to the docs with a table and features you want to see/compare, fill the Drone column and we will help you with Woodpecker one. What do you think?

Why? What's wrong with Drone?

Afaict the momentum seems to be more on the woodpecker side and there are a few edges in drone. But this is just a feeling. Currently I am not using drone all that much but now have a few more uses for a proper CI and want to decide on something that sticks.

Comparison to which edition?

Probably the enterprise edition, since the open source one does not seem to work other than for the most basic usecases (e.g. no more than a single runner on the same machine). I'm also using this one.

That's a great idea! Maybe I would rather want to focus on the differences and not have two columns filled with checkmarks. But let's see how it works out. I might borrow from the comparison page you linked to though.

Thanks!
