DIY Approach

What If You Don't Have Build Job Logs?

Before Build Job Logs, this is what server management looked like. Spoiler: it wasn't fun.

1

Create workflow file

Write GitHub Actions YAML.

terminal
# In your repo:
mkdir -p .github/workflows
nano .github/workflows/deploy.yml

# Write ~50 lines of YAML
# name: Deploy
# on:
#   push:
#     branches: [main]
# jobs:
#   deploy:
#     runs-on: ubuntu-latest
#     steps:
#       - uses: actions/checkout@v4
#       - name: Deploy via SSH
#         uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
#         with:
#           host: ${{ secrets.HOST }}
#           username: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
#           key: ${{ secrets.SSH_KEY }}
#           script: |
#             cd /opt/apps/myapp
#             git pull
#             docker compose up -d --build

YAML indentation errors? Good luck debugging.

2

Add secrets

Configure GitHub secrets.

terminal
# Go to GitHub repo
# Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions
# Add each secret:
# - HOST
# - USERNAME
# - SSH_KEY (entire private key!)
# One typo = failed deploys
3

Test and debug

Push and watch it fail.

terminal
git add .
git commit -m "Add CI/CD"
git push
# Go to Actions tab
# Watch it fail on line 47
# Fix, commit, push, repeat
