Mender provides actions for uploading Mender Artifacts and creating deployments to a group of devices. Both actions are composite and require bash and curl to be available in a used container.
The actions use Personal Access Tokens feature which is only available in Mender Server version 3.4 or newer.
In this chapter we introduce the different actions and provide examples on how to use them.
mendersoftware/mender-gh-action-upload-artifact action uploads a Mender Artifact to a Mender Server. Find more information about the action usage in the related documentation.
mendersoftware/mender-gh-action-create-deployment action creates a deployment on a Mender Server. Find more information about the action usage in the related documentation.
The actions require the following secret to be set in a repository settings:
