rsync deployments

Forked from 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

  • switches* - The first is for any initial/required rsync flags, eg: -avzr --delete

  • rsh - Remote shell commands

  • path - The source path. Defaults to GITHUB_WORKSPACE

  • remote_path* - The deployment target path

  • remote_host* - The remote host

  • remote_port - The remote port. Defaults to 22

  • 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@2.0
      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@2.0
      with:
        switches: -avzr --delete --exclude="" --include="" --filter=""
        path: src/
        remote_path: /var/www/html/
        remote_host: example.com
        remote_port: 5555
        remote_user: debian
        remote_key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }}

For better security, I suggest you create additional secrets for remote_host, remote_port and remote_user inputs.

name: DEPLOY
on:
  push:
    branches:
    - master

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: rsync deployments
      uses: burnett01/rsync-deployments@2.0
      with:
        switches: -avzr --delete
        path: src/
        remote_path: /var/www/html/
        remote_host: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_HOST }}
        remote_port: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PORT }}
        remote_user: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_USER }}
        remote_key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }}
