GitHub Actions Deploy Pipeline

GitHub Actions Deploy Pipeline

When you connect a GitHub repository, Boottify can generate a deploy-app.yml workflow into your repo. That workflow builds the Docker image, pushes it, and triggers the platform deploy — with progress streamed back to the dashboard via real-time step webhooks.

What Gets Generated

• A .github/workflows/deploy-app.yml file in your repo.
• Resilient npm install with fallback (handles transient registry issues).
• Lowercase Docker image names (OCI spec compliant).
• A POST callback to /api/webhooks/deploy-step after each step so the dashboard updates live.

Setting It Up

1. Open Settings → Integrations → GitHub.
2. Install the Boottify GitHub App on the repo.
3. Click Generate Deploy Workflow.
4. Boottify commits the workflow file to your repo via a pull request.
5. Merge the PR. The next push to your default branch triggers a deploy.

Real-Time Progress

As the workflow runs, each step posts a status event back to the platform. You will see — on the application's Deployments page — the live progress of: checkout, build, push, deploy, smoke test.

Authentication

The workflow uses a deploy token scoped to deploy, apps:write, and env. See API tokens for details on scopes.
