Migration Guide

Over the past few months I've been rewriting this action with a brand new architecture that resolves some long standing issues. The new version of this library is heavily inspired by rsync. rsync is a popular application that must be run over a ssh connection, it requires the rsync binary be install on both the client and the sever. rsync provides dozens of advanced arguments that can't be supported due to protocol limitations with ftp. Version 4 attempts to emulate at a high level how rsync syncs multiple folders, however operates over the constrained ftp protocol.

Less overhead

Version 4 no longer uses docker and has faster startup times!

Improved Defaults

.git and node_modules are now ignored by default, allowing users to opt-in to their deployment instead.

Improved Error Handling

Errors are now less cryptic.

Local Testing

Testing actions in version 3 was difficult, often requiring devs to change a value and commit it without testing the change locally. You can now run test configurations using node, see readme for more info.

Minimize downtime

The deployment is now setup in a way that minimizes downtime. For example, new files can be uploaded, then existing files updated, and finally old files deleted.

Removed features 🗑️

sftp support has been removed. In hindsight this never should have been added. Users with sftp access should be using rsync over ssh. I will create a separate github action for rsync deployments (coming soon)
