Project on GitHub (in this tutorial I’m using the Next js application).
Server SSH private key (the key you create while creating a new instance).
We need 3 Action secrets AWS_USERNAME AWS_HOSTNAME AWS_PRIVATE_KEY
Navigate to the main page of the repository.
Click on the Setting Tab (top right area).
Select Action under “Secrets”
Click on the “New repository secret” button (top right area)
Set Name to “AWS_PRIVATE_KEY".
Paste the content of the server SSH private key and remove ----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY---— and ----END RSA PRIVATE KEY---—
Click on “Add secret”
follow the above point to add further “action secrets”
Set AWS_USERNAME value to your Linux users (most commonly centos, apache2) you can use whoami command to get your current user name.
Set AWS_HOSTNAME value to your server IP address.
You can also add any ENV variable as Action secrets by following the same guide above.
This is the part where all magic happens
Create folders in your project repository my-cool-app/.github/workflows
Set up your workflow by creating two .yml files. For the sake of simplicity, we named it build.yml and deploy.yml.
#build.yml
name: build
on:
push:
branches: [ main ]
pull_request:
branches: [ main ]
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

matrix:
node-version: [16.x]

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}

with:
node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
cache: 'npm'
- run: npm ci
- run: npm run build
env:
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL: ${{ secrets.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL }}
Add env variable under env: if any.
#deploy.yml

You can run your .sh file stored on your LightSail server, the script will contain all the required commands to build and start your application.
pm2 stop my-app
git pull
npm install
npm run build
pm2 start my-app
echo "my-app-deploy script executed"
