ssh-action VS django-hines

This GitHub action will use another ssh-action action to handle the remote ssh connection. After storing the connection credentials in the GitHub repository secrets, this can securely/dynamically connect to the remote Ubuntu machine. The last key for this action job is the script, or verbatim Ubuntu commands that will be run. For the sake of brevity, I have only written pseudo-code for the deployment steps.

If you have SSH setup, you could have the your pipeline SSH in and run start your script. A quick search found a few actions that might work, including this one that does most of the heavy lifting for you. Just setup your secrets, give it the command you want to run, and it'll go from there. Good luck!

Then on my backend and frontend GitHub repos, I'll have another GitHub Actions workflow that uses something like appleboy/ssh-action to simply SSH into my server, pull the new images, and re-start the containers, whenever someone pushes to master.

Personally I use GitHub Actions that connects via SSH and runs custom bash deploy scripts.

Executing remote ssh commands using appleboy/ssh-action@master.

Yeah it's definitely a pet project. I'll look into Puppet for actual applications. Do you think that something like this would be a good, realistic alternative rather than going over HTTPS, if the use case is just a few simple, repeated shell commands: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/ssh-remote-commands

SSH Remote Commands

Or you combine part of both and use a GitHub action to run the script from the first action as a remote SSH command: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/ssh-remote-commands

You could add a Github Action to your repo which uses https://github.com/appleboy/ssh-action that SSHs into your server, pulls the repo there and restarts pm2.

FWIW, here's my working main.yml for my site, although it doesn't use pipenv or pytest, so it's not directly comparable: https://github.com/philgyford/django-hines/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml

My personal website is Django and is far too complicated but I enjoy tinkering with it: https://www.gyford.com . I include all my Tweets, Flickr photos, Pinboard bookmarks, and Last.fm listening using my app django-ditto as if Web 2.0 was still a thing. And track my reading and event-going using my other app django-spectator.

In case it's any interest, here's the weblogs app from my personal site https://github.com/philgyford/django-hines/tree/main/hines/weblogs

Here’s a gulpfile.js from one of my projects in case any of its useful - it might not be and it might be terrible :)

There are probably better ways, but this is roughly what I've done in the code for the combined RSS feed on my own website.

The CustomS3Boto3Storage is to work around an error that happened when uploading files. You can see the class here.

I ended up writing my own similar simple app for my site, for creating blocks in sidebars, footers, etc https://github.com/philgyford/django-hines/tree/main/hines/blocks Feel free to copy if it helps!

I hope someone has a better answer for you but this is what I’ve done sometimes… use a view mixin class that only caches the view for non-logged-in users. e.g.: https://github.com/philgyford/django-hines/blob/main/hines/core/views.py#L81

You'll need to be more specific if there's a particular bit of the puzzle you're struggling with. Here's the action I ended up with after a lot of googling, and searching GitHub itself for more examples: https://github.com/philgyford/django-hines/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml That uses pipenv, and runs flake8, and coverage and coveralls, and posts a notification to Slack when it's done. But you might need other things... every example I looked at is different!
