SSH

What it does

This action executes SSH commands on a remote server.

How it works

Buddy connects to a remote server using its SSH client.

SSH Action Features

• The field Run commands supports multiple commands (one per line), piping commands together, or splitting a single command into multiple lines with \ (backslash) at the end of each line
• The commands support Environment Variables
• By default, the commands are executed as a regular script. You can choose between SH or BASH specific syntax.
• If you switch off the "Run as a script" mode, the commands will be executed one by one in a separate shell session for each command line. For example if a working directory will be changed in a one line, it won’t be in the another.
• Authentication modes: Password, Private SSH key, Buddy’s SSH key
• It’s possible to select working directory (by default it is user’s home directory)
• By default, the action is marked as failed when a command exits with non-zero value
• Lines are executed from top to bottom, one command per line. If a command fails, the next line will not be executed and the action will fail. It's possible to choose behavior on a command error: stop execution of whole pipeline and mark it as failed or ignore the errors and continue
• Input fields: Source Path, Hostname, Port, Login, Password, RemotePath support ENV VARs
• The action can be configured in YAML mode. See SSH YAML parameters and SSH YAML config example
• Buddy's SSH API is supported
• The action supports conditional execution: it can be run on each execution, only if there are changes in the repository or specific paths since last execution or if an environment variable has a specific value
• Handling failures: you can either stop the execution, mark action and pipeline as failed or proceed the execution, mark action as warning and jump to the next action
