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.

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.
Consider upgrading to 4.0 that uses a docker-image drinternet/rsync:1.0.1
that is
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
).
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.
