# rsync deployments
This GitHub Action (amd64) 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 base-image [drinternet/rsync](https://github.com/JoshPiper/rsync-docker/) of this action is very small and is based on Alpine 3.19.1 (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
- `legacy_allow_rsa_hostkeys` - Enables support for legacy RSA host keys on OpenSSH 8.8+. ("true" / "false")
- `path` - The source path. Defaults to GITHUB_WORKSPACE and is relative to it
- `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
- `remote_key_pass` - The remote ssh key passphrase (if any)
``* = Required``
## Required secret(s)
This action needs secret variables for the ssh private key of your key pair. The public key part should be added to the authorized_keys file on the server that receives the deployment. The secret variable should be set in the Github secrets section of your org/repo and then referenced as the `remote_key` input.
> Always use secrets when dealing with sensitive inputs!
For simplicity, we are using `DEPLOY_*` as the secret variables throughout the examples.
## Current Version: 7.0.1
## Example usage
Simple:
```
name: DEPLOY
on:
push:
branches:
- master
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: rsync deployments
uses: burnett01/[email protected]
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@v3
- name: rsync deployments
uses: burnett01/[email protected]
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, remote_user and remote_path inputs.
```
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: rsync deployments
uses: burnett01/[email protected]
with:
switches: -avzr --delete
path: src/
remote_path: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PATH }}
remote_host: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_HOST }}
remote_port: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PORT }}
remote_user: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_USER }}
remote_key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }}
```
If your private key is passphrase protected you should use:
```
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: rsync deployments
uses: burnett01/[email protected]
with:
switches: -avzr --delete
path: src/
remote_path: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PATH }}
remote_host: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_HOST }}
remote_port: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PORT }}
remote_user: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_USER }}
remote_key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }}
remote_key_pass: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY_PASS }}
```

#### Legacy RSA Hostkeys support for OpenSSH Servers >= 8.8+
If your remote OpenSSH Server still uses RSA hostkeys, then you have to
manually enable legacy support for this by using ``legacy_allow_rsa_hostkeys: "true"``.
```
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: rsync deployments
uses: burnett01/[email protected]
with:
switches: -avzr --delete
legacy_allow_rsa_hostkeys: "true"
path: src/
remote_path: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PATH }}
remote_host: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_HOST }}
remote_port: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PORT }}
remote_user: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_USER }}
remote_key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }}
```
