I added the SSH under Deploy key! should I move it to account's SSH?

You have to authorize the GitHub Actions server to SSH into your server, just like how you authroizes your computer to SSH into the server.

See the linked article for steps to do this

Thank you for this gist, did you meet this error?

i have same error, im doubting this caused by some environment bug,i'm running github runner self hosted in docker container,did you running github runner also in a docker container?

this is mine which i used :

steps:
- name: Checkout code
  uses: actions/checkout@v2

- name: Install SSH Key
  uses: shimataro/ssh-key-action@v2
  with:
    key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
    known_hosts: unnecessary
    
- name: Adding Known Hosts
  run: ssh-keyscan -H ${{ secrets.SSH_HOST }} >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

- name: Remove .git in htdocs on Server
  run: |
    ssh ${{ secrets.USER }}@${{ secrets.USER_SERVER }} "rm -rf /var/www/html/SnapEase/.git"

- name: Print Deployment Success
  run: echo "Deployment successful!" `

And got this : Run ssh-keyscan -H *** >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts ssh-keyscan -H *** >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0} Error: Process completed with exit code 1. Any idea Bro ?

@Tholkappiar, I am getting the same error, where you able to solve it?

note:runs-on not a architect platform,that's a name of your hosted runner name

I don’t understand you, what do you mean?

Hi @zellwk Thanks for sharing this. Your blog post https://zellwk.com/blog/github-actions-deploy/ was very helpful and it helped me setup the workflow the way I wanted it. I had to tweak my configuration a little bit to get it working but it was worth it.
