Balena CLI

Continuously deliver your applications to balenaCloud using the official balena CLI tool.

Based on Balena Push from Joe Mainwaring and balena CLI action from Brint Kriebel.

Inputs

balena_api_token

Required: A BalenaCloud API Token, used to authenticate with BalenaCloud. API keys can be created in the user settings for BalenaCloud.

balena_command

Required: The balena command you would like to run with the action.

application_path

Optional: Provide a sub-path to the location for application being deployed to BalenaCloud. Defaults to the workspace root.

balena_secrets

Optional: Provide the contents of a balena secrets.json file for authenticating against private registries.

Note: If using private GitHub Packages, you must provide a Personal Access Token instead of using the builtin secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN. GitHub currently does not support pulling from private package registries using the actions token.
