Github Action for Creating a Preview environment in Okteto

You can use this action to create a preview environment in Okteto as part of your automated development workflow.

Inputs

name

Required The name of the Okteto preview environment to create.

timeout

The length of time to wait for completion. Values should contain a corresponding time unit e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h. If not specified it will use 5m.

variables

A list of variables to be used by the pipeline. If several variables are present, they should be separated by commas e.g. VAR1=VAL1,VAR2=VAL2,VAR3=VAL3.

file

Relative path within the repository to the manifest file (default to okteto-pipeline.yaml or .okteto/okteto-pipeline.yaml).

branch

The branch to use for the preview environment (defaults to the branch that triggered the action).

log-level

Log level used. Supported values are: debug, info, warn, error. (defaults to warn)

Environment Variables

If the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable is set, the action will share the URL of the preview environment with the pull request that triggered the action.

Example usage

This example runs the context action and then creates a preview environment.

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

name: example

concurrency:
  # more info here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#concurrency
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: false

jobs:
  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Context
      uses: okteto/context@latest
      with:
        url: https://okteto.example.com
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}

    - name: "Deploy the preview environment"
      uses: okteto/deploy-preview@latest
      with:
        name: dev-previews

Advanced usage

Custom Certification Authorities or Self-signed certificates

You can specify a custom certificate authority or a self-signed certificate by setting the OKTETO_CA_CERT environment variable. When this variable is set, the action will install the certificate in the container, and then execute the action.

Use this option if you're using a private Certificate Authority or a self-signed certificate in your Okteto SH instance. We recommend that you store the certificate as an encrypted secret, and that you define the environment variable for the entire job, instead of doing it on every step.
