Summary

Replaces the Docker action and globally installed CapRover CLI with a bundled Node 24 action that calls the small subset of the CapRover API used for deployments.

Behavior preserved

  • image deploys the requested image
  • branch archives and deploys that Git ref
  • with neither input, the action uploads ./deploy.tar
  • when both image and branch are supplied, image retains the current precedence
  • app-token deployments remain detached

Architecture

  • TypeScript sources under src/
  • committed dist/index.js bundle
  • isolated CapRover API client using /api/v2
  • app-token and namespace headers matching the current CLI
  • streaming multipart archive uploads
  • removal of the Dockerfile, entrypoint, and obsolete container publishing workflow
  • CI verifies formatting, types, tests, and the committed bundle

Tests

16 tests cover required inputs, input trimming, all existing deployment modes, image precedence, Git archiving, special-character paths, multipart uploads, app-token headers, trailing server slashes, API errors, missing tar files, temporary archive cleanup, and interrupted responses.

Manual verification

Ran the committed dist/index.js as an action process against a local CapRover-compatible HTTP server. Verified action input handling, multipart upload, /api/v2 endpoint construction, authentication headers, and the accepted deployment response.

This PR intentionally keeps the v1 input contract. The simplified v2 UX follows in a stacked PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a Node.js 24 runtime for the GitHub Action.
    • Added CapRover deployments using container images, checked-out content, or prepared archives.
    • Added working-directory support, deployment validation, secret masking, and clearer error reporting.
    • Added commit metadata to deployments.
    • Added automated verification for pull requests and pushes to the main branch.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the README with v2 setup, deployment options, inputs, and security guidance.
  • Chores

    • Removed the Docker runtime, Dockerfile, entrypoint script, and image publishing workflow.
    • Added ignore rules for generated files and build artifacts.

Review fixes

  • always executes regardless of the consuming workflow's NODE_ENV
  • rejects interrupted responses and applies a five-minute inactivity timeout
  • updates Vitest and esbuild; npm audit reports zero vulnerabilities
  • aligns the private package version with the existing v1.2.0 release

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The action changes from Docker-based CapRover CLI execution to a Node 24 implementation. It validates inputs, creates Git archives when needed, calls CapRover API v2, and adds tests and CI verification.

Changes

Deployment action

Layer / File(s) Summary
Node runtime and packaging
action.yml, package.json, tsconfig.json, Dockerfile, entrypoint.sh, .github/workflows/release.yml, .gitignore
The action now runs dist/index.js with Node 24. The Docker image, shell entrypoint, and Docker release workflow are removed.
Action inputs and execution entry point
src/github.ts, src/inputs.ts, src/index.ts, tests/inputs.test.ts
The action reads and validates required and optional inputs, masks the token, trims values, and reports success or failure through GitHub Actions commands.
Archive and CapRover deployment pipeline
src/archive.ts, src/caprover.ts, src/deploy.ts, tests/archive.test.ts, tests/caprover.test.ts, tests/deploy.test.ts
The deployment flow supports image deployment, checked-out Git archive upload, and explicit prepared tar upload. It validates paths and CapRover responses, carries commit metadata, and cleans up temporary archives.
Verification workflow
.github/workflows/test.yml
The workflow installs dependencies and runs npm run verify for pull requests and pushes to main.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 31015

Workflows supplying both image and tar inputs fail instead of deploying the image, and a continuously streaming CapRover response can exhaust runner memory. Address both before merging.

Limit the buffered CapRover response size.

The client stores every response chunk without a limit. A faulty CapRover endpoint can continuously send data, reset the inactivity timeout, and consume runner memory until the action hangs or terminates.

Track the accumulated byte count. Reject and destroy the response when it exceeds a small API-response limit. This limit does not impose a wall-clock deadline on healthy archive uploads.

Proposed response limit
+const MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES = 1024 * 1024;

 const chunks: Buffer[] = [];
+let responseBytes = 0;
-response.on("data", (chunk) => chunks.push(Buffer.from(chunk)));
+response.on("data", (chunk) => {
+  const buffer = Buffer.from(chunk);
+  responseBytes += buffer.length;
+  if (responseBytes > MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES) {
+    response.destroy();
+    reject(new Error("CapRover response exceeded 1 MiB"));
+    return;
+  }
+  chunks.push(buffer);
+});

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restore image precedence when both deployment inputs are set.

When a workflow supplies both inputs, this validation fails the action instead of deploying image. Keep image as the selected mode and ignore tar-file in this case.

  • src/inputs.ts#L44-L46: remove the mutual-exclusion error and preserve image as the selected deployment mode.
  • tests/inputs.test.ts#L53-L63: replace the rejection test with an assertion that image takes precedence.
  • README.md#L89-L89: document that image takes precedence over tar-file.

As per PR objectives: image precedence when both inputs are provided.
