Example using the new YML syntax about rsync-deployments HOT 6 CLOSED

- name: Deploy to Staging 
  uses: contention/[email protected]
  env: 
    DEPLOY_KEY: ${{secrets.DEPLOY_KEY}} 
  with: 
    args: "-avzr --delete --exclude .htaccess --exclude /uploads/ [email protected]:/srv/myapp/public/htdocs/"

For whoever is landing up here, I recommend ditching the pre-made rsync actions and going either fully manually or use simpler helper like ssh-agent:

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Setup SSH agent
        uses: webfactory/[email protected]
        with:
          ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_SSH_KEY }}
      - name: Setup known_hosts
        run: echo 'my.host.io ssh-rsa AAAAB3....+8U=' >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
      - name: Sync project files
        run: rsync -avzr --delete ${GITHUB_WORKSPACE}/ [email protected]:/srv/files/

(you can generate the line for known_host with ssh-keyscan, or simply copy it from your own known_hosts)

The reasons being:

1. Secure - you provide a specific SSH fingerprint, so the workflow will fail on MitM or DNS attacks (unlike this action, which runs with -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no)
2. Simpler - you have full control over the rsync command without having to remember which action args go where

I've proposed an attempt to do that in #7.

I'm still getting docker exiting with code 2 when it gets to the entrypoint.sh. Any thoughts?

from rsync-deployments.

It seems to work here, I get a full list of all the files and this after:

sent 250663 bytes received 56 bytes 167146.00 bytes/sec
total size is 37470734 speedup is 149.45

But no files appear at the receiving end. Any ideas what could cause this?

@generator85 Make sure your destination server:/path captured in $3 variable in entrypoint.sh
