Kamal is a wonderfully simple way to deploy your applications anywhere. It will also be included by default in Rails 8. Kamal is trivial, but I don’t recommend using it on your development machine.

We use the docker/build-push-action to build the application image. In addition to setting the correct tag, the image build step must also provide a label matching your service name. Because the image should be pushed to your container registry, we set push: true, and because we want ludicrous build speed we instruct the build step to utilize the GitHub Actions cache.
Once the image has been built and pushed, you only need to trigger the deployment using Kamal. We use the webfactory/ssh-agent to establish a connection to our production server. After installing the required Ruby dependencies, it’s only a matter of running Kamal. As the image is already built and pushed, we use the --skip-push flag.
