name: CD

  push:
    branches:
      - master
      - main

      env:
        PRIVATE_KEY: ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_KEY }}
        HOST: ${{ secrets.HOST }}
        PROJECT: ${{ secrets.PROJECT }}
        APP_CONFIG: ${{ secrets.APP_CONFIG }}

Required Secrets

You'll need to provide some env to use the action. Set them to the Project Secrets:

Settings -> Secrets -> Actions -> New Repository Secret

• PRIVATE_KEY: Your SSH private key to access to Dokku. Get it via command: pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.
• HOST: The host or IP of the Dokku server. ie, your.site.com or 192.168.1.1.
• PROJECT: Dokku project name.

Optional Environments

You can optionally provide the following:

• PORT: Port of the sshd listen to, 22 is set by default.
• FORCE_DEPLOY: Force push the project to dokku, e.g. FORCE_DEPLOY=true
• HOST_KEY: The results of running ssh-keyscan -t rsa $HOST. Use this if you want to check that the host you're deploying to is the right one (e.g. has the same keys).
• APP_CONFIG: Set dokku config through github secrets. Example: RAILS_MAX_THREADS=25 SECRET_KEY_BASE=xyz123&$%.
• BRANCH: The ability to deploy from a non-master branch.
