# 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 base-image is very small (Alpine+Cache) which results in faster 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@v1
- name: rsync deployments
uses: miked49er/[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@v1
- name: rsync deployments
uses: miked49er/[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 and remote_user inputs.

```
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: rsync deployments
uses: miked49er/[email protected]
with:
switches: -avzr --delete
path: src/
remote_path: /var/www/html/
remote_host: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_HOST }}
remote_port: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PORT }}
remote_user: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_USER }}
remote_key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }}
```

For maximum speed limit the checkout action (``actions/checkout@v1``) to a depth of 1:

```
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
with:
fetch-depth: 1
- name: rsync deployments
uses: miked49er/[email protected]
with:
switches: -avzr --delete
path: src/
remote_path: /var/www/html/
remote_host: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_HOST }}
remote_port: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PORT }}
remote_user: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_USER }}
remote_key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }}
```
