# rsync deployments
This GitHub Action deploys files in `GITHUB_WORKSPACE` to a remote folder via rsync over ssh.
Use this action in a CD workflow which leaves deployable code in `GITHUB_WORKSPACE`.
The underlaying base-image of the docker-image is very small (Alpine (no cache)) which results in fast deployments.
---
## 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@v2
- name: rsync deployments
uses: burnett01/rsync-deployments@4.1
with:
switches: -avzr --delete
path: src/
remote_path: /var/www/html/
remote_host: example.com
remote_user: debian
remote_key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }}
```
Advanced:
```
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: rsync deployments
uses: burnett01/rsync-deployments@4.1
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.
```
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: rsync deployments
uses: burnett01/rsync-deployments@4.1
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 }}
```

## Version 3.0
Looking for version 3.0?
Check here: https://github.com/Burnett01/rsync-deployments/tree/3.0
Version 3.0 uses the ``alpine:latest`` base-image directly.<br>
Consider upgrading to 4.0 that uses a docker-image ``drinternet/rsync:1.0.1`` that is<br>
based on ``alpine:latest``and heavily optimized for rsync.
## Version 2.0
Looking for version 2.0?
Check here: https://github.com/Burnett01/rsync-deployments/tree/2.0
Version 2.0 uses a larger base-image (``ubuntu:latest``).<br>
Consider upgrading to 3.0 for even faster deployments.
## Version 1.0 (EOL)
Looking for version 1.0?
Check here: https://github.com/Burnett01/rsync-deployments/tree/1.0
Please note that version 1.0 has reached end of life state.
