Official Github Actions support?

[shaunakv1]

Thanks for this great tool! I have also been trying Kamal ( which is one of the inspirations for this project) to switch some of my rails projects, but I like Sidekick for other more general technologies. One of the things I like about Kamal is that it comes with Github Actions support pre baked.

Based on what I am reading it should be totally possible to write a action for Sidekick myself, but it would be great if an official Action shipped with the project. Any plans in that direction?

Hi @shaunakv1

Sidekick takes a different approach to Kamal. Sidekick is not mean to run on CI. It's meant to be used locally.
Kamal can do that because Kamal still uses a docker image registry to get the image to your VPS. Sidekick uses scp directly which would require that your CI env has SSH access to your VPS. Too much complexity.

If your target is to deploy on a push, you can do that locally with git hooks. Should be very simple to setup.
