Hey!
Until now, I have been using Travic for CI which was easy to install, even on my raspberry pi 3. Now, I’m struggling with the installation of drone which i plan on using with gitea. The already confusing installation instructions on http://docs.drone.io/installation/ don’t seem to work on arm. Has anyone already installed drone on a pi? I’d appreciate some help 
Best regards
[EDIT 1]
I did go get -u github.com/drone/drone and followed these instructions, but I’m still don’t know how to continue
[EDIT 2]
I tried to create a docker image with cd ~/go/src/github.com/drone/drone && docker build ., but step Step 7/8 : ADD release/drone-server /bin/ failed with ADD failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder219367492/release/drone-server: no such file or directory
sorry I pasted the wrong path:
-go build -o release/drone-server github.com/drone/drone/extras/cmd/drone-server
+go build -o release/drone-server github.com/drone/drone/cmd/drone-server
docker build -t drone/drone .
Note that the build instructions assume you have installed [1] and configured [2] Go and you have a basic understanding of the Go folder structure [3], since Go project need to be cloned to a specific location inside the GOPATH.
git cone https://github.com/drone/drone.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/drone/drone
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/drone/drone
go build -o release/drone-server github.com/drone/drone/cmd/drone-server
docker build -t drone/drone .

Thanks for your effort. Unfortunatly, I’m still experiencing problems. I believe my folder structure is set up correctly.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ go build -o release/drone-server github.com/drone/drone/cmd/drone-server

pi@raspberrypi:~/go/src/github.com/drone/drone $ docker build -t drone/drone .

are you running go build from inside the repository directory?
damm - I wasn’t. Now I got it working!
Thanks for your help!!
Even though I was able to build drone, when I try to run it it results in this error:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ docker run drone/drone
standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"
When I use docker-compose, I get a similiar error:
pi@raspberrypi:~/go/src/github.com/drone/drone $ docker-compose up

Update: I have now tried the same thing on my arch-desktop and I got the same error.
The below error messages tells me that the binary does not exist in your docker container. Or that something is wrong with the custom-built container.
drone-server_1 | standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"
The below error messages tell me that the binary in the docker image you are using is not compiled for your target architecture.

Have you configured your Docker compose file to use your alternate server image and the arm agent image?
I recommend you reach out to some of the folks in this thread that are actively using Drone on arm machines. They will be better suited to answer your questions, and may have pre-built images that you can use https://github.com/drone/drone/issues/1767

With the help of atomi, I finally managed to get it runnig. I compiled the server using this command (thanks @ling7334), created a docker image with docker build -t nyxcode/drone . and used this docker-compose.yaml file.
Thanks for your help @bradrydzewski
