oVirt Resources Upload Action

This action uploads artifacts to the resources.ovirt.org server.

Usage

In your GitHub Actions workflow add the following:

name: Add name here 
on:
  # Add triggers here
jobs:
  some-job:
    name: Some job
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      # Add other steps to create artifacts before the step below.
      - name: Upload artifacts
        uses: ovirt/ovirt-resources-upload-action@main
        with:
          # Add known_hosts file here. Required.
          known_hosts: ...
          # SSH username for upload. Required.
          username: test
          # Base64-encoded SSH key for upload. Required
          key: put-key-here
          # Which files to upload.
          source: testdata/*
          # Which directory to upload to. This directory must exist on the target server.
          target: /test
          # SSH hostname to upload to. Optional, defaults to resources.ovirt.org
          host: resources.ovirt.org 
          # Delete the file(s) before uploading file(s) with the same name(s). Useful in case we hard-link the uploaded files.
          delete_before_upload: no
          # Cleanup files on target server, keep the last few. Optional, defaults to "no".
          cleanup: yes
          # How many files to keep. Optional, defaults to 1000.
          keep_files_count: 10

A note on cleanup

The cleanup process deletes all but the last X files from the target server based on the modification date. However, the modification date is preserved during upload, so the deletion process may yield unexpected results. If you are uploading older files make sure to touch them before upload!

A note on delete_before_upload

This option is useful when we hard-link the uploaded files i.e. to save disk space, and don't want the upload of the file with the exisiting file name to push changes to all the hard-linked files. Setting delete_before_upload to yes will attempt to delete file before uploading it, effectively implementing a Copy-On-Write approach in this case.
