Docker Deployment Action

A GitHub Action for docker-compose deployments on a remote host using SSH.

The Action is adapted from work by wshihadeh

Example

Below is an example of how the action can be used

- name: Start Deployment
  uses: TapTap21/docker-remote-deployment-action@v1.0
  with:
    remote_docker_host: ec2-user@ec2-34-246-134-80.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
    ssh_private_key: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
    ssh_public_key: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY }}
    stack_file_name: docker-compose.yml
    docker_login_password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_REPO_PASSWORD }}
    docker_login_user: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_REPO_USERNAME }}
    docker_login_registry : ${{ steps.login-ecr.outputs.registry }}
    args: -p myapp up -d

Use the latest tag to run the latest build or a specific version tag. The action pulls a docker image instead of building one to improve performance.

Input

Below is a breakdown of the expected action inputs.

args

Docker-compose runtime arguments and options. Below is a common usage example:

• -p app_stack_name -d up

remote_docker_host

Specify Remote Docker host. The input value must be in the following format (user@host)

ssh_public_key

Remote Docker SSH public key.

ssh_private_key

SSH private key used to connect to the docker host.

SSH key must be in PEM format (begins with -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----)

ssh_port

The SSH port to be used. Default is 22.

stack_file_name

Docker stack file(s) used. Can be several files seperated by commas that will be passed to docker-compose in order. Default is running docker-compose without any -f flags (which will use docker-compose.yml overriden by docker-compose.override.yml if there is one).

docker_login_user

The username for the container repository user. (DockerHub, ECR, etc.)

docker_login_password

The password for the container repository user.

docker_login_registry

The docker container registry to authenticate against
