Github Actions
This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
GitHub Actions are automation tools for Github that can be used to publish changes for flat-file content management and static websites, or for testing IndieWeb software. This can be used for Docker compose to create services on remote machines.
Why
Deployment
If you use GitHub for flat file storage, you can use Github Actions for automated continuous deployment (CD) to your web host. Continuous deployment is a form of continuous integration (CI).
IndieWeb Examples
capjamesg
capjamesg uses GitHub Actions to deploy his personal website (jamesg.blog) and several other websites.
His GitHub Action setup has the following steps:
- Check out repository
- Set up Python
- Install dependencies (his SSG, Aurora)
- Generate the site
- Upload pages with rsync
He keeps assets in a separate GitHub repository. This repository has its own action that uploads images with rsync.
