Server Deployment using Github action.

[premdasvm]

I've been following this awesome template for a while now, and I have a question about deploying servers with GitHub Actions.

In some projects, I use GitHub Actions to connect to my server, update the code, build, and restart the pm2 service.
For other projects, I build Docker images using GitHub Actions, push them to my GitHub container repository, and then use SSH to pull and restart on my server.

I'm curious, which approach would you recommend for this template?

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main  # You can specify your main branch name here

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          npm install  # Replace with your package manager and command

      - name: Build and test
        run: |
          npm run build  # Replace with your build and test commands

      - name: Deploy to server
        uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
        with:
          host: ${{ secrets.SERVER_HOST }}
          username: ${{ secrets.SERVER_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.SERVER_PASSWORD }}  # Use SSH key or other authentication methods for security
          script: |
            cd /path/to/your/server
            git pull origin main  # Pull the latest code
            npm install  # Install dependencies again (if needed)
            npm run restart  # Restart your server or some command
