As of `v1.5.0`, the command timeout flag has changed to use the `Duration` format. See the following example:
```diff
pipeline:
scp:
image: ghcr.io/appleboy/drone-ssh
settings:
host:
- example1.com
- example2.com
username: ubuntu
password:
from_secret: ssh_password
port: 22
- command_timeout: 120
+ command_timeout: 2m
script:
- echo "Hello World"
```## Build or Download a Binary
Pre-compiled binaries are available on the [releases page](https://github.com/appleboy/drone-ssh/releases), supporting the following operating systems:
- Windows amd64/386
- Linux arm/amd64/386
- macOS (Darwin) amd64/386If you have `Go` installed:
```sh
go install github.com/appleboy/drone-ssh@latest
```Or build the binary manually with the following commands:
```sh
export GOOS=linux
export GOARCH=amd64
export CGO_ENABLED=0
export GO111MODULE=ongo test -cover ./...
go build -v -a -tags netgo -o release/linux/amd64/drone-ssh .
```## Docker
Build the Docker image with the following command:
```sh
make docker
```## Usage
Run from your working directory:
```sh
docker run --rm \
-e PLUGIN_HOST=foo.com \
-e PLUGIN_USERNAME=root \
-e PLUGIN_KEY="$(cat ${HOME}/.ssh/id_rsa)" \
-e PLUGIN_SCRIPT=whoami \
-v $(pwd):$(pwd) \
-w $(pwd) \
ghcr.io/appleboy/drone-ssh
```## Mount Key from File Path
Make sure to enable `trusted` mode in your project settings (for [Drone 0.8 version](https://0-8-0.docs.drone.io/)).

Mount the private key in the `volumes` section of your `.drone.yml` config:
```diff
pipeline:
ssh:
image: ghcr.io/appleboy/drone-ssh
host: xxxxx.com
username: deploy
+ volumes:
+ - /root/drone_rsa:/root/ssh/drone_rsa
key_path: /root/ssh/drone_rsa
script:
- echo "test ssh"
```See details in [this issue comment](https://github.com/appleboy/drone-ssh/issues/51#issuecomment-336732928).
## Configuration
See [DOCS.md](./DOCS.md) for examples and full configuration options.
Configuration options are loaded from multiple sources:
0. Hardcoded drone-ssh defaults. See [main.go CLI Flags](https://github.com/appleboy/drone-ssh/blob/6d9d6acc6aef1f9166118c6ba8bd214d3a582bdb/main.go#L39) for more information.
1. From a dotenv file at a path specified by the `PLUGIN_ENV_FILE` environment variable.
2. From your `.drone.yml` Drone configuration.Later sources override earlier ones. For example, if `PORT` is set in an `.env` file committed in the repository or created by previous test steps, it will override the default set in `main.go`.
