## Proposed tutorial series: Setting up a web application with CI/CD with Gitea and Drone

### Tutorials

1. Installing Gitea:
    1. Download Gitea
    2. Set up Nginx reverseproxy
    3. Set up Gitea per instructions
    4. Create a repo for your app
2. Installing Drone:

    2. Set up Nginx reverseproxy
    3. Integrate Drone and Gitea
    4. Set up project in Drone
3. Setting up CI/CD:
    1. Set up runner for testing
    2. Set up runner for deployment
4. Setting up deployment strategies:
    1. Using branch limits:
        1. Set up pipeline steps for e.g: sandbox, staging, prod
        2. Set up Nginx to serve each target
        3. Set up workflow:
            1. Merge each branch into main when it lands
            2. Promote sandbox to staging for testing by merging main into staging branch
            3. Promote staging to prod by merging staging into prod
    2. Using promotion:
        1. Set up pipeline with targets per step
        2. Set up Nginx to serve each target
        3. Set up workflow:
            1. Work against e.g: main branch
            2. Promote successful build to desired target using the CLI
