GitHub Actions for DigitalOcean

This action enables you to interact with DigitalOcean services by installing the doctl command-line client.

Usage

To install the latest version of doctl and use it in GitHub Actions workflows, create a DigitalOcean API token, add it as a secret to your repository, and add the following step to your workflow:

    - name: Install doctl
      uses: digitalocean/action-doctl@v2
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN }}

doctl will now be available in the virtual environment and can be used directly in following steps. As an example, one common use case is retrieving the credentials for a Kubernetes cluster hosted on DigitalOcean for use in a deployment workflow:

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

See this repository for a full end-to-end example that also demonstrates building a Docker image, pushing it to a private DigitalOcean container registry, and using kubectl to deploy it to the Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean.

Arguments

• token – (Required) A DigitalOcean personal access token (more info).
• version – (Optional) The version of doctl to install. If excluded, the latest release will be used.
• no_auth – (Optional) Set to true to skip the authentication step. The API token parameter is Optional in this case.
  • Note: This can be useful when running in workflows in untrusted environments, or where auth isn't necessary (e.g. doctl app spec validate --schema-only)
  • This depends on doctl >= v1.101.0 (digitalocean/doctl#1450)

Contributing

To install the needed dependencies, run npm install. The resulting node_modules/ directory is not checked in to Git.

Before submitting a pull request, run npm run package to package the code using ncc. Packaging assembles the code including dependencies into one file in the dist/ directory that is checked in to Git.

Pull requests should be made against the v2 branch.
