v1.0.0

v1.0.0 – Initial Release

This is the first stable release of the original Bash-based Docker Deploy GitHub Action, built to automate remote deployments over SSH with support for both Docker Compose and Docker Swarm.

Features

• Seamless Remote Deployment
  Uploads Docker Compose or Swarm stack files directly to your server via SSH and deploys automatically.

• Automatic Project Setup
  Creates the target directory if it doesn’t exist, sets 750 permissions and ensures correct ownership.

• Additional File Support
  Uploads extra files such as .env, traefik.yml, nginx.conf, or other custom configuration files.

• Private Registry Login
  Supports secure Docker registry authentication (e.g., Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry).

• Network Management
  Creates missing Docker networks using specified drivers (bridge, overlay, etc.), with attachable support in Swarm.

• Reliable Deployment Modes
  Supports:

  • Docker Compose via docker-compose up
  • Docker Swarm via docker stack deploy

• Service Health Verification
  Ensures services start successfully and remain healthy after deployment.

• Optional Cleanup
  Can optionally perform a Docker system prune (removing unused images, containers, volumes, etc.) after deployment.

• Detailed Logs and Security
  Provides structured logs with per-step output. Automatically deletes SSH key after deployment for added security.

Requirements

• Docker must be installed on the remote server.
• SSH access to the server (key-based authentication required).
• Docker Compose is required for compose mode.
• Docker Swarm must be initialised and the server must be a manager for stack mode.

Tags

• v1.0.0: First stable release
• v1: Latest stable major version (recommended for use in GitHub Actions)
