action-sshpass-rsync

Github Action to deploy via rsync and sshpass
in order to enable deployments on hosts, which don't support key based ssh

Usage

- name: Deploy to Server
  uses: inf166/action-sshpass-rsync@v1
  with:
    host: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_HOST }}
    user: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_USER }}
    port: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PORT }}
    pass: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PASS }}
    local: "path/of/your/local/mashine"
    remote: "path/where/to/deploy/to"
    runBeforeDeployment: |
      cd somewhere/
    runAfterDeployment: |
      cd ../somewhere/back/to

You can do something before and after your deployment on the remote.
For this, you use the runBeforeDeployment and runAfterDeployment inputs.

Optional (and not firmly tested)

You can use your private key and just enjoy the deployment part of this action.
But I must say, that I have not tested this.
Feel free to contribute.

Disclaimer

Parts of this action are heavily inspired by
matheusvanzan / sshpass-action
and
D3rHase / rsync-deploy-action.

I have looked up how to make my own action there and build upon their code.
So please give them some love.
