Github Actions to build & deploy this blog

Previously I was trying to run the build of this blog on my own server using Github webhook.

But my puny server was having a hard time handling the spike in resource usage during npm install

I found a nice guide to using github actions to build and push to a linux server.

name: deploy
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v1
      - run: npm install -g @gridsome/cli
      - run: npm install
      - run: gridsome build
      - name: Install SSH Key
        uses: shimataro/ssh-key-action@v2
        with:
          key: ${{ secrets.SSH_KEY }}
          known_hosts: unnecessary
      - name: Adding Known Hosts
        run: ssh-keyscan -p ${{ secrets.PORT}} -H ${{ secrets.HOST }}  >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
      - name: Deploy with rsync
        run: rsync -avz -e "ssh -p ${{ secrets.PORT}}" ./dist/ ${{ secrets.SSH_USER }}@${{ secrets.HOST }}:${{ secrets.DEST }}
