GitHub Actions for DigitalOcean Example Workflow

GitHub Actions for DigitalOcean Example

This repository contains an example workflow using the GitHub Action for DigitalOcean to build, tag, and deploy a container image to a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster.

Workflow

The example workflow will trigger on every push to this repo's master branch. For push, the workflow will:

• Build the image from the included Dockerfile
• Tag and push the image to a private DigitalOcean container registry
• Retrieve the kubeconfig file for a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster
• Create a deployment using config/deployment.yml

Notes

• This example is using a Kubernetes cluster running v1.18.x with action-doctl@v2. (For older versions, see the v1 tag.)
• Your Kubernetes cluster must have access to your private DigitalOcean container registry (doctl kubernetes cluster registry add <cluster>).
• This example uses external-dns installed via Helm. This is an optional requirement, but you will need to adjust your config/deployment.yml file if it is not in use.

example-doctl-action's Issues

What is the purpose of echoing the SHA to the _meta folder?

The workflow has the following step:

echo $GITHUB_SHA > $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/site/_meta

What is the purpose of this? Is it used for any particular reason?

[ERROR] No matches for kind "Deployment"

Hi there,

I'm trying to follow the repository tutorial, but I received this error:

service/static-example-service created
error: unable to recognize "/home/runner/work/example-doctl-action/example-doctl-action/config/deployment.yml": no matches for kind "Deployment" in version "apps/v1beta1"
##[error]Process completed with exit code 1.

Could you guys help me?

Error: unknown command "doctl" for "doctl"

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-action-for-digitalocean-doctl#usage has invalid details on recommending

- name: Save DigitalOcean kubeconfig
  run: doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig save testing-cluster

When it is used Github Actions fails with error "unknown command "doctl" for "doctl"

It shouldn't contain doctl, should be

- name: Save DigitalOcean kubeconfig
  run: kubernetes cluster kubeconfig save testing-cluster

Push to docker registry fails with `tag does not exist` registry.digitalocean.com/mailio/mailiofrontend:latest

It seems like this might be outdated? It's been working for me for the past 100 deployments up until 1 month ago.

Run docker push registry.digitalocean.com/myrepo/static-example
Using default tag: latest
The push refers to repository [registry.digitalocean.com/myrepo/static-example]
tag does not exist: registry.digitalocean.com/myrepo/static-example:latest
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Github workflow fix is to add the tag when pushing to registry:

 ...
  - name: Push image to DigitalOcean Container Registry
    run: docker push registry.digitalocean.com/myrepo/static-example:$(echo $GITHUB_SHA | head -c7)
...

##[error]Docker run failed with exit code 1

I get this error

##[error]Docker run failed with exit code 1

On the Save DigitalOcean kubeconfig step.. I have the DO access token set, unable to resolve, not sure what the issue is

Hi, thanks for your example. I have this error:
