I've been working on a pipeline to build and deploy my Jekyll Site via ssh to a webserver. I've found this GithubAction and tried to reproduce it. Here is my .yml
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: 🛎 Check out master
uses: actions/checkout@master
with:
fetch-depth: 1
- name: 🎩 Install Jekyll
run: |
sudo gem install bundler jekyll
sudo bundle install
- name: 🧹 Clean site
run: |
if [ -d "docs" ]; then
rm -rf docs/*
fi
- name: 🔨 Build site
run: bundle exec jekyll build -d docs
When running my pipeline it gets stuck at the beginning of the 🔨 Build site
step. It was stuck until i manually canceled it after 18min.
Running the build command locally works. Any idea what the mistake is? Or there better ways to achieve what i want?
After trying out various Github Actions i've solved by doing it myself using the Jekyll Builder Docker Image.
Care: you need to pre create .jekyll-cache
and _site
because the container does not have the permission to do so. It's a known issue.
- name: 🔨 Build site
run: |
mkdir .jekyll-cache _site
docker run --rm -v ${{ github.workspace }}:/srv/jekyll jekyll/builder:latest jekyll build
After running this command you can do whatever with the _site
folder. In my case i compressed it and moved it to my server with appleboys scp-action.
