s3-sync-action

forked (manually-copied) from https://github.com/jakejarvis/s3-sync-action

This is not used actively, these files are embedded in to the desired project where we want files uploaded to an s3 bucket.

Currently the Cloud Resume Challenge project contains thee files slightly tweaked in order to upload the html and css files

to my AWS S3 bucket when any changes are pushed to the repo, using the Github Workflow to trigger this.

GitHub Action to Sync S3 Bucket 🔄

This simple action uses the vanilla AWS CLI to sync a directory (either from your repository or generated during your workflow) with a remote S3 bucket.

Usage

workflow.yml Example

Place in a .yml file such as this one in your .github/workflows folder. Refer to the documentation on workflow YAML syntax here.

As of v0.3.0, all aws s3 sync flags are optional to allow for maximum customizability (that's a word, I promise) and must be provided by you via args:.

The following example includes optimal defaults for a public static website:

  • --acl public-read makes your files publicly readable (make sure your bucket settings are also set to public).
  • --follow-symlinks won't hurt and fixes some weird symbolic link problems that may come up.
  • Most importantly, --delete permanently deletes files in the S3 bucket that are not present in the latest version of your repository/build.
  • Optional tip: If you're uploading the root of your repository, adding --exclude '.git/*' prevents your .git folder from syncing, which would expose your source code history if your project is closed-source. (To exclude more than one pattern, you must have one --exclude flag per exclusion. The single quotes are also important!)

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master

        AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
        AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
        AWS_REGION: 'us-west-1'   # optional: defaults to us-east-1
        SOURCE_DIR: 'public'      # optional: defaults to entire repository

Configuration

The following settings must be passed as environment variables as shown in the example. Sensitive information, especially AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, should be set as encrypted secrets — otherwise, they'll be public to anyone browsing your repository's source code and CI logs.

Key Value Suggested Type Required Default
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID Your AWS Access Key. More info here. secret env Yes N/A
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY Your AWS Secret Access Key. More info here. secret env Yes N/A
AWS_S3_BUCKET The name of the bucket you're syncing to. For example, jarv.is or my-app-releases. secret env Yes N/A
AWS_REGION The region where you created your bucket. Set to us-east-1 by default. Full list of regions here. env No us-east-1
AWS_S3_ENDPOINT The endpoint URL of the bucket you're syncing to. Can be used for VPC scenarios or for non-AWS services using the S3 API, like DigitalOcean Spaces. env No Automatic (s3.amazonaws.com or AWS's region-specific equivalent)
SOURCE_DIR The local directory (or file) you wish to sync/upload to S3. For example, public. Defaults to your entire repository. env No ./ (root of cloned repository)
DEST_DIR The directory inside of the S3 bucket you wish to sync/upload to. For example, my_project/assets. Defaults to the root of the bucket. env No / (root of bucket)
