I got an application running on a raspberry server. I use git and github for versioning. I would like to update code on the server when a pull request is accepted on the main branch.

What kind of tool can I use ? I try https://github.com/appleboy/ssh-action with no succeed to connec to the server. Any other idea ?

On GitHub side, you can trigger on accepted PR:4

  • a GitHub action (like the one you mention)
  • a WebHook (which sends a JSON payload to an IP of your choice)

In both instance, that supposes your raspberry server:

  • has an IP accessible from GitHub
  • a port opened (22 for SSH, 80 or 443 for HTTP(S))

You can use a curl-based GitHub action to test out a curl -v telnet://<your.IP>:22 and see if the IP:port is accessible from GitHub.
