# actions
A collection of actions for the CI/CD on the Skynet Forgejo instance.


## deploy
Deploy is used to deploy services onto teh skynet cluster itself.  
Primarily used for Skynet and Compsoc

### v2
```yaml
jobs:
  # deploy it upstream
  deploy:
    # runs on teh default docker container
    runs-on: docker
    needs: [ build ]
    steps:
      - name: "Deploy to Skynet"
        uses: https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Skynet/actions-deploy-to-skynet@v2
        with:
          input: 'compsoc_public'
          token: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN_FORGEJO }}
```

### v3
V3 moves it into its own folder in order to better organise the actions in this repo (instead of having a repo for each action)
```yaml
jobs:
  # deploy it upstream
  deploy:
    # runs on teh default docker container
    runs-on: docker
    needs: [ build ]
    steps:
      - name: "Deploy to Skynet"
        uses: https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Skynet/actions/deploy@v3
        with:
          input: 'compsoc_public'
          token: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN_FORGEJO }}
```

## Get LFS
Custom script that is used to get lfs objects from a repo.  
``checkout@v4`` is intended to be able to do this, however it has a bug that prevents it doing so.

### v3
````yaml
jobs:
  build:
    # build it using teh base nixos system, helps with caching
    runs-on: nix
    steps:
      # get the repo first
      - uses: https://code.forgejo.org/actions/checkout@v4
      - name: "Get LFS objects"
        uses: https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Skynet/actions/get_lfs@v3
        with:
          repository: ${{ gitea.repository }}
          ref_name: ${{ gitea.ref_name }}
      - name: "Build it locally"
        run: nix build --verbose
````


### v6
````yaml
jobs:
  build:
    # build it using teh base nixos system, helps with caching
    runs-on: docker
    steps:
      # get the repo first
      - uses: https://code.forgejo.org/actions/checkout@v4
      # Make sure all files are pulled down

          ref_name: ${{ gitea.ref_name }}
````



## Deploy User
### v6

```

## Docker Nix
This action is used to get nix into the docker user deploy system.
### v7
```yaml
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: docker
    steps:
      uses: https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Skynet/actions/docker_nix@v7
```

## Nix build Deploy user
This action can build your website if you develop it using different methods than writing HTML. Only pre-requisite is that
this action uses the Nix build command, so your repository requires a nix flake. 
```yaml
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: docker
      steps:
        uses: https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Skynet/actions/nix-build_deploy@v7
```
