🚀 DigitalOcean Kubernetes GitHub Action

This GitHub Action automates the creation of a Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean using the DigitalOcean API.

🎯 Features

• Creates a Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean
• Saves Kubeconfig for future deployments
• Supports configurable cluster size and region
• Uses Python instead of doctl

---

🛠️ Usage

1️⃣ Add to Your GitHub Workflow

Create a workflow file at .github/workflows/deploy.yml:

name: Deploy Kubernetes Cluster on DigitalOcean

on:
  workflow_dispatch:  # Allows manual trigger
  push:
    branches:
      - main  # Runs on push to main branch

jobs:
  create-cluster:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Create DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster
        uses: ./create-k8s-cluster  # If action is in the same repo
        with:
          digitalocean_token: ${{ secrets.DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
          cluster_name: "prod-cluster"
          region: "nyc3"
          node_size: "s-2vcpu-4gb"
          node_count: "3"

      - name: Save Kubeconfig for future steps
        run: cat kubeconfig.yaml

2️⃣ Inputs

Name	Description	Required	Default
digitalocean_token	DigitalOcean API Token	✅ Yes	None
cluster_name	Kubernetes cluster name	❌ No	my-k8s-cluster
region	DigitalOcean region (e.g., nyc3)	❌ No	nyc3
node_size	Node size (e.g., s-2vcpu-4gb)	❌ No	s-2vcpu-4gb
node_count	Number of nodes	❌ No	2

---

3️⃣ Setup API Token

1. Go to GitHub Repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
2. Click New repository secret
3. Add:
   • Name: DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN
   • Value: Your DigitalOcean API Token

4️⃣ Running the Workflow

• Manual Trigger: Go to GitHub Actions → Select Workflow → Click Run Workflow
• Automatic Trigger: Push changes to the main branch

---

📌 Notes

• The Kubeconfig file is saved as kubeconfig.yaml
• The cluster creation process takes ~5-10 minutes
• Ensure your API token has write permissions for Kubernetes
