Docker Deployment Action

A GitHub Action for docker-compose deployments on a remote host using SSH.

The Action is adapted from work by wshihadeh

Example

Below is an example of how the action can be used

- name: Start Deployment
  uses: TapTap21/docker-remote-deployment-action@v1.0
  with:
  remote_docker_host: ec2-user@ec2-34-246-134-80.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
  ssh_private_key: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
  ssh_public_key: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY }}
  stack_file_name: docker-compose.yml
  docker_login_password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_REPO_PASSWORD }}
  docker_login_user: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_REPO_USERNAME }}
  docker_login_registry : ${{ steps.login-ecr.outputs.registry }}
  args: -p myapp up -d

Use the latest tag to run the latest build or a specific version tag. The action pulls a docker image instead of building one to improve performance.
