Simplificator Deploy Action

This action allows to you deploy any kind of compose definition to a server. The action connects to the server using SSH, initialized Docker Swarm, deploys your compose definition and cleans up unused images and containers afterward.

Usage

Below you can find an example workflow on how to deploy your application using our deployment action. We assume that a connection to your server is possible with an SSH key. Password authentication is not supported.
