Github Action for Deploying a Stack in Okteto Cloud

You can use this action to deploy a stack in Okteto Cloud as part of your automated development workflow.

Inputs

`namespace`

The Okteto namespace to use. If not specified it will use the namespace specified by the namespace action.

`name`

The name of the stack. If not specified it will use the one in your manifest file.

`build`

Set to true to build the images before deploying your stack.

`file`

The path to the manifest file. If not specified, it will default to docker-compose.yaml or okteto-stack.yaml.

`working-directory`

The working directory of the action. Defaults to the root folder of the repo.

Example usage

This example runs the context action and then creates the stack

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

name: example

jobs:

  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    
    - uses: okteto/context@latest
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}
    
    - uses: okteto/namespace@latest
    
    - name: "Create stack"
      uses: okteto/deploy-stack@latest
      with:
        build: "true"

Advanced usage

Custom Certification Authorities or Self-signed certificates

You can specify a custom certificate authority or a self-signed certificate by setting the OKTETO_CA_CERT environment variable. When this variable is set, the action will install the certificate in the container, and then execute the action.

Use this option if you're using a private Certificate Authority or a self-signed certificate in your Okteto Enterprise instance. We recommend that you store the certificate as an encrypted secret, and that you define the environment variable for the entire job, instead of doing it on every step.

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

name: example

jobs:
  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      OKTETO_CA_CERT: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_CA_CERT }}
    steps:
   
    - uses: okteto/context@latest
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}
   
    - uses: okteto/namespace@latest
   
    - name: "Create stack"
      uses: okteto/deploy-stack@latest
      with:
        build: "true"
