2. Edit Cockpit config/config.yaml and add a new entry for drone like below:

drone:
  url: https://YOUR.DRONE.SERVER
  token: <your drone access token>
  owner: <the owner of the git repository>
  project: <the git project>
  branch: <the branch in your git repository for the deployment>
  environment: <the environment used in your drone pipeline>
  build: <the build number used as base for deployment> # leave empty and the addon will use the latest successfull build based on a push event
