# rsync deployments
Forked from [Contention/rsync-deployments](https://github.com/Contention/rsync-deployments)
This GitHub Action deploys files in `GITHUB_WORKSPACE` to a folder on a server via rsync over ssh.
Use this action in a build/test workflow which leaves deployable code in `GITHUB_WORKSPACE`.
# Inputs
- `swtiches`* - The first is for any initial/required rsync flags, eg: `-avzr --delete`
- `rsh` - Remote shell commands, eg for using a different SSH port: `"-p ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PORT }}"`
- `path` - The source path. Defaults to GITHUB_WORKSPACE
- `remote_path`* - The deployment target path
- `remote_host`* - The remote host
- `remote_user`* - The remote user
- `remote_key`* - The remote ssh key
* = Required
# Required secret
This action needs a `DEPLOY_KEY` secret variable. This should be the private key part of a ssh key pair. The public key part should be added to the authorized_keys file on the server that receives the deployment. This should be set in the Github secrets section and then referenced as the `remote_key` input.
# Example usage
Simple:
```
name: DEPLOY
on:
push:
branches:
- master
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: rsync deployments
uses: burnett01/rsync-deployments@1.0
with:
switches: -avzr --delete
path: src/
remote_path: /var/www/html/
remote_host: example.com
remote_user: debian
remote_key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }}
```
Advanced:
```
name: DEPLOY
on:
push:
branches:
- master
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: rsync deployments
uses: burnett01/rsync-deployments@1.0
with:
switches: -avzr --delete --exclude="" --include="" --filter=""
rsh: "-p ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PORT }}"
path: src/
remote_path: /var/www/html/
remote_host: example.com
remote_user: debian
remote_key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }}
```
For better security, I suggest you create additional secrets for remote_host and remote_user inputs.
