This repository provides configuration for GitHub Actions to deploy a WordPress website to a production server via rsync.
To make it work, you need to set up variables in your repository settings:
Settings -> Security -> Secrets and variables -> Actions
SSH_HOST
SSH_PORT
SSH_USERNAME
SSH_KEY
You can generate an SSH key in your hosting provider's control panel.
Set up the DEPLOY_FOLDER variable to match your server's public_html directory.
After the initial deployment, install WordPress and copy your wp-config.php to the DEPLOY_FOLDER/private/shared directory. Then, uncomment the "Share wp-config file" action in main.yml file. From now on, your wp-config.php will be shared between versions.
Place any files that you don't want to copy to production inside a .rsyncignore file.
Finally, configure your website document root to DEPLOY_FOLDER/public. You can also do this in your hosting provider's control panel.
