# ghaction-packagecloud
**ghaction-packagecloud** is a simple github docker action that
deploys debian packages to [packagecloud.io](https://packagecloud.io).
## Usage
The action runs the following:
```sh
package_cloud push /
```
- `user` is the packagecloud.io user; it doesn't have to be specified
is the user is equal to the github user.
- `repository` is the only required parameter; it will usually include
the OS and version, example: `reponame/ubuntu/precise`. That's
better documented in https://packagecloud.io/docs#push_pkg
- `files` has the files to upload. Also optional - if not defined, the
action uses all `.deb` files under the current directory.
Besides these parameters, the `package_cloud` script also needs the
API Token to update the repository. You can get that from
https://packagecloud.io/api_token after logging in. To pass it to the
github action, configure it as a secret in github - you can do that
by going to the repository's page, then going
to *Settings*, *Secrets* - and then pass it using the
`PACKAGECLOUD_TOKEN` environment variable.
Example workflow file:
```yml
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
-
- uses: docker://lpenz/ghaction-packagecloud:0.4
with:
repository: lpenz/debian/stretch
env:
PACKAGECLOUD_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PACKAGECLOUD_TOKEN }}
```
For a more complete example, here are some github repositories that use this action:
[execpermfix](https://github.com/lpenz/execpermfix),
[ogle](https://github.com/lpenz/ogle),
[ftpsmartsync](https://github.com/lpenz/ftpsmartsync).
## Inputs
### `user`
packagecloud.io username. Optional, the default is the github user.
### `repository`
packagecloud.io repository. Required.
### `directory`
Enter this directory before pushing. Optional.
Mostly useful when the debian package is created in a subdirectory of
the git repository.
### `files`
.deb files to push.
If not specified, use all .deb files under the current directory. If
none are found, search in all subdirectories.
## Using in other environments
This github action is actually a docker image that can be used locally
or even in [travis-ci](https://travis-ci.com). To do that, first
download the image from
[docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/lpenz/ghaction-packagecloud):
```sh
docker pull lpenz/ghaction-packagecloud:0.4
```
Then, run a container in the project's directory, for instance:
```sh
docker run --rm -t -u "$UID" -w "$PWD" -v "${PWD}:${PWD}" \
-e INPUT_REPOSITORY=lpenz/debian/stretch \
-e PACKAGECLOUD_TOKEN \
lpenz/ghaction-packagecloud:0.4
```
It's worth pointing out that action parameters are passed as
upper case environment variables, prefixed with `INPUT_`.
The following `.travis.yml` runs the same thing in travis-ci:
```yml
---
language: generic
jobs:
include:
- install: docker pull lpenz/ghaction-packagecloud:0.4
- script: -<
docker run --rm -t -u "$UID" -w "$PWD" -v "${PWD}:${PWD}"
-e INPUT_REPOSITORY=raspbian/debian/stretch
-e PACKAGECLOUD_TOKEN
lpenz/ghaction-packagecloud:0.4
```
