This PR adds the automatic upload of nightly builds to an off-site server via SFTP using a predefined SSH key stored in GitHub Secrets.
As proof that this works, I submit my most recent commit to this branch and the associated GitHub Actions workflow run to go along with it.
As a note, the SFTP command is currently forced to use IPv4. This can be changed by removing
-4from therun:command.Prior to merging this PR, the following must be added as Repository Secrets in settings:
HOST- The FQDN of the server to which nightlies will be uploadedUSERNAME- The username of an account authorized to connect and upload to the serverKEY- The full text of a passwordless private key authorized to connect to and upload to the serverKNOWN_HOSTS- Aknown_hostsfile, containing the server-key of the serverUPLOADPATH- The absolute path of the directory where the files will be uploaded, with a trailing slash. Example:/srv/www/or/home/user/directory/KNOWN_HOSTScan be easily generated by moving your local~/.ssh/known_hoststo a temporary location, and SSHing to the server. Copy the contents of the new~/.ssh/known_hostsfile into theKNOWN_HOSTSsecret, and you should be good to go.If there are any questions about this PR, I'm happy to answer here or on IRC.
