when I exec deploy.sh with ssh on my terminal, it's all fine. But when I use ssh-action , error will happen.

what should I do ?

It's neither a feature request nor a bug. I'm just curious to know why a public key in the Github secrets is not required? How just only a private key is sufficient to ssh into a remote server.

Hi,
I got an error with the latest version:

2019/09/30 08:11:32 could not parse  as int value for flag port,p: strconv.ParseInt: parsing "": invalid syntax

Is it better to give port a default value?

When GitHub action starts it fails on below error.

Hey,

I am currently facing the issue that the output of some of my scripts is getting classified as "error" which causes the github action to get the fail status:

For me it would be very helpful to get an flag for each script line which allows to ignore the output. :-)

I got the following message when trying to ssh a BlueHost server:

2020/05/23 13:43:07 ssh: handshake failed: ssh: no common algorithm for key exchange; client offered: [[email protected] ecdh-sha2-nistp256 ecdh-sha2-nistp384 ecdh-sha2-nistp521 diffie-hellman-group14-sha1], server offered: [diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256]

Even when I try [email protected].

is key_path: $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/.ssh/id_rsa possible?

Hello,

How do I provide an SSH key passphrase? When adding both a key and password it throws an error that I cannot have both.

I could not understand which variable could be wrong?
We maybe need a better error message?

While connecting to a ssh server I get the following message? any conf or server side config/tweak to be made?

Regards

2020/02/28 00:38:25 ssh: handshake failed: ssh: no common algorithm for key exchange; client offered: [[email protected] ecdh-sha2-nistp256 ecdh-sha2-nistp384 ecdh-sha2-nistp521 diffie-hellman-group14-sha1], server offered: [diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256]

I am trying to use commands like "npm install", "pm2 restart",
but action fails:

err: bash: line 3: npm: command not found
err: bash: line 4: pm2: command not found

I am using nvm on the server, and thought that it might be the path resolution issue.
However, even using the absolute path, hardcoded, did not help:

err: /usr/bin/env: ‘node’: No such file or directory
err: /usr/bin/env: ‘node’: No such file or directory

Observed behaviour

Even if a command failed, the action is having a successful output.

Expected result

Action should fail in my opinion, what do you guys think?

How to do this in yaml?

Hi, I saw your example in the README of how to pass environment variable to shell script. However, in the example the variables are just strings. I wanted to pass something like:

PRNumber: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}

But this doesn't seem to work. The output will be empty. Do you have an example of how to pass this correctly?

I'm trying to use this action along with your scp-action to update some files on my server and then execute a command, and it looks like the scp-action command works but the ssh-action doesn't.

Here's the log for the run.

The scp-action completes successfully, printing out Successfully executed transfer data to all host and I can see that the files appear on my host. The ssh-action errors out with Error: can't connect without a private SSH key or password (even though the exact same ssh key worked for scp-action).

I'm providing the same host, key, and username to both actions, so I'm not sure why the ssh-action is erroring at login out the way it is. I would figure that if scp-action were able to connect to my server, then ssh-action would be able to as well.

The relevant config from my yaml file:

    - name: Upload to EC2
      uses: appleboy/scp-action@master
      with:
        host: ${{ secrets.EC2_IP }}
        key: ${{ secrets.EC2_KEY }}
        username: ec2-user
        source: "*"
        target: "server"
        rm: true
    - name: Deploy to EC2
      uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
      env:
        host: ${{ secrets.EC2_IP }}
        key: ${{ secrets.EC2_KEY }}
        username: ec2-user
        script: echo hi

secrets.EC2_KEY is a PEM key, i.e.

kevin@raikou:~$ cat ~/Desktop/game-server.pem

I am actually facing the issue that my ssh connection is not going through successfully.

Hi,

I tried to configure this action with a repo having the following configuration:

     - name: executing remote ssh commands
       uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
       with:
         host: ${{ secrets.SERVER_SSH_IP }}
         username: ${{ secrets.SERVER_SSH_USER }}
         key: ${{ secrets.SERVER_SSH_KEY }}
         debug: true

I have an error, but I don't know how to fix it. I use an ssh key and I tried with other actions like this one and others which use ssh connection and it works.

This is a valid linux command that removes all files and folders that don't match the pattern, it works when I run it manually on my server, but it doesn't work using this ssh-action tool.

with: host: *** username: *** script: whoami debug: true

i have error, why?

I'm trying to use this action to ssh into my AWS EC2 Instance but I keep getting this error,
2019/10/01 09:51:51 ssh.ParsePrivateKey: ssh: no key found. I'm still not sure what contents do I need to add for the key in github secrets. I have the .pem private key from AWS

For safety reasons would be good to release versions using tags.

Currently looks that you stoped using tagging...

Is there a way to use the ForwardAgent Option with this action? So that you could use the rsa key for example for git pull.

It doesn't just make any other error:

`======CMD======
docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq -f name=erp-front)
docker rmi $(docker images | grep 'emiryumak/erp-front' | awk '{print $3}')
docker pull emiryumak/erp-front:latest
docker run --name erp-front -p 5000:80 --restart=always -d emiryumak/erp-front

======END======

I don't understand thats error. Its meaning can not connect to my server?

Hello.
The ssh server is WindowsServer2016.
yaml is here.

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Deploy
      uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
      with: 
        host: ${{ secrets.HOST}}
        username: ${{ secrets.USER }}
        port: ${{ secrets.SSH_PORT}}
        password: ${{ secrets.PASSWORD }}
        script_stop: true
        script: |
          cd ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_PATH }}&git pull origin master&iisreset /restart

Windows command doesn't seem to work if multiple lines are specified, so I wrote script command like this.

The log is below.

======CMD======
cd ***&git pull origin master&iisreset /restart

I have npm installed on my server, why does the 'npm command not found' error during deployment?

I can't find it in the README.
I tried passing an array , but got an error

I have this workflow

name: Deploy to development environment
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:

          --script 'git checkout master'
          --script 'npm install'
          --script 'npm run build:prod'

I got this output:

How can I increase the timeout?

Hey,

is it possible to use secrets within the commands? Like for example:

      - name: I123
        uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
        with:
          host: ${{ secrets.1 }}
          username: ${{ secrets.2 }}
          key: ${{ secrets.3 }}
          proxy_host: ${{ secrets.4 }}
          proxy_username: ${{ secrets.5 }}
          proxy_key: ${{ secrets.6 }}
          script: |
            echo ${{ secrets.7 }}

Best regards
Sebastian

I'm not able to use this in my workflow file since that runs on macOS. Please consider supporting macOS.

My actions config:

name: remote ssh command
on: [push]
jobs:

  build:
    name: Build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: executing remote ssh commands using password
      uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
      env:
        PG_DATA_VOLUME: ${{ secrets.PG_DATA_VOLUME }}
        PG_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PG_PASSWORD }}
        PG_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.PG_USERNAME }}
        PG_DBNAME: ${{ secrets.PG_DBNAME }}
      with:
        host: ${{ secrets.SSH_HOST }}
        username: ${{ secrets.SSH_USERNAME }}
        key: ${{ secrets.SSH_KEY }}
        port: ${{ secrets.SSH_PORT }}
        envs: PG_DATA_VOLUME,PG_PASSWORD,PG_USERNAME,PG_DBNAME
        script: |
          env

env command outputs env vars, but it doesn't output PG_DATA_VOLUME, PG_PASSWORD, etc.
So the issue is env vars are not available in ssh session.

I am executing a command like this in the step:
python script.py &
echo Done

This causes the step to get stuck in progress after echoing Done and eventually timeout (after ~10 minutes) whereas it should be done in 10 seconds.
However, if I kill the process (python script.py) manually by SSH'ing to the server, the step completes execution successfully. How can I fix this problem and run background commands successfully?

Other variants I have tried:
nohup python script.py &
disown

Is it possible to pass options to the ssh command?
I couldn't find it in the documentation.

For example how we pass it via ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no

I am using the action to:

• cd to project directory (Success)
• pull the latest code from master on my repo (Success)
• Restart the pm2 deployment using "pm2 restart app" (Failure)

err: bash: line 2: pm2: command not found

I'm pretty sure pm2 is working well on my server. Does the action use a sub process that doesn't have all the dependencies?

You have a comma , used to separate multiple commands in a single string. This makes it impossible to run commands which have a comma in their parameters. For example, docker mount:

--mount type=volume,src=<VOLUME-NAME>,dst=<CONTAINER-PATH>

This parameter line is split at commas even though I use multiline YAML format for script. Maybe it's better to remove comma altogether and rely exclusively on YAML multiline support.

======CMD======
cd /home
git stash
git pull

2020/02/05 08:33:29 Process exited with status 1

So in case anyone, like I did, bumps into this error, it might be because you're using the version given by default by github (v0.0.2) which, I guess, didn't support the env variables correctly.
What I did was simply updating:
uses: appleboy/[email protected]
to
uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
Though I guess using other tags will work also.
Thanks for the Action btw !

Hello,

My cmd that I execute is bash /root/deploy.sh when executing the step I get:

======CMD======

Why is this returned as a success when the exit code is 1?

i cant use npm install or pm2 in the script, is there any way to do this

tried to use ssh private key. below way. copy the key and put it into the secrets.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa

  deploy:
    needs: [build]
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: SSH and deploy node app

        args: > 
          --host ${{ secrets.NODE_SERVER }} --user ${{ secrets.SSH_USER }} --ssh-key ${{ secrets.SSH_KEY }}
          --script 'whoami'  

i am getting this error

Hi, I am having some trouble getting your action to connect to my DigitialOcean droplet.
I have tried both SSH connections via a SSH Key and a standard User/Password.

The error
handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none publickey], no supported methods remain

My config

- name: Deploy
    uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
    with:
       host: ${{ secrets.DIGITAL_OCEAN_DROPLET_HOST }}
       username: ${{ secrets.DIGITAL_OCEAN_DROPLET_USER }}
       password: ${{ secrets.DIGITAL_OCEAN_DROPLET_PASSWORD }}
       script: whoami

Lastly, reviewing some of the resolved repo issues, I followed your advice to follow this article http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html which gets you to append the public SSH key to the remote servers authorized_keys file.

Cheers,

I keep getting this issue:

2020/05/03 ***:19:30 ssh.ParsePrivateKey: no PEM block found

I have this for my .yml file
