PERTAIN_TOSolution

You could use a file with the secret token, placed in secure directory — as part of the bundle process. Tension: and ensure a script is run as part of the bundle process. Outcome: An example to set env variables.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

${{ secrets[github.event.inputs.ssh_private_key_secret] }} — a workflow that can be manually triggered. Tension: GitHub Actions doesn't allow dynamic secret access using the syntax. Outcome: Error loading key "(stdin)": error in libcrypto.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

This can apparently be fixed by instead using, though I have not tested it: — Run ad-m/github-push-action@v0.5.0. Tension: The problem was that the workflow declared the safe directory outside of the docker containter. Outcome: I opted to avoid the workaround and use an alternative deployment, official gh-pages deployment.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

my github flow alway fail at step Test network connectivity to EC2 host — i want to deploy my app to ec2 instance (linux) with github action. Outcome: Turn out i need to remove this step below and use public ipv4 dns address instead of public ip address for ec2_host.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

name: ${{STEP_NAME_01}} ## <<--- This is where I would like to use a variable — Given a GitHub workflow that looks something like this. Tension: Is there a syntax that would let me supply the name of the step as a variable? Outcome: use a variable.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

The build failed because private dependencies cannot be found. Tension: The python build should work with no issues. Outcome: private dependencies cannot be found.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

If you don't want to create a file manually, you can pass the content directly: — docker/build-push-action@v6. Tension: the secret is passed as a variable inside the container. Outcome: Use `secrets:` to Pass File Content Directly.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

secrets: | "id=pip" "src=$GITHUB_WORKSPACE/.config/pip/pip.conf" — docker/build-push-action@v6. Outcome: can you try to spilt lines into two and try once.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

refusing to allow a GitHub App to create or update workflow `.github/workflows/main-runner.yaml` without `workflows` permission — To modify one GitHub Actions .yaml file by running another GitHub Actions file. Tension: I want to randomize the cron schedule of the other file. Outcome: remote rejected] main -> main.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

provide the `token` there — uses: actions/checkout@v4. Tension: You have to tell `git` commands to use your generated token. Outcome: you should be able to `push` with this token.

PERTAIN_TORootCause

The error is saying that the user on the host does not have a matching public key. — Try logging in with that key from your local machine. Tension: the key is fine as well. Outcome: the wrong user.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Try logging in with that key from your local machine. — The step syntax looks fine. Tension: The error is saying that the user on the host does not have a matching public key. Outcome: the wrong user.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Load key "/root/.ssh/id_ed25519": invalid format

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Surounding the whole build arg with quotations works

PERTAIN_TOSolution

So I added a sleep process for one minute and it worked. — We can't directly start SSH-ing it. Tension: as soon as I create an EC2 instance it takes some time for SSH to be initialized. Outcome: and it worked.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

A GitHub Actions workflow needs to fetch a secret value from Azure Key Vault and use it to substitute into appsettings.json. The previously working approach using get-keyvault-secrets is deprecated, and using ::set-output is being disabled.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Use azure/CLI to retrieve the secret value, add masking with ::add-mask::, and write the value to $GITHUB_OUTPUT via a step id. Then reference steps.<id>.outputs.<name> in the appsettings variable substitution step.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

This file is checked in to source control and includes the clear text password. — I have a `nuget.config` file. Tension: I don't want the password to be visible in source control. Outcome: Is it possible to use a secret/env variable to replace the password?

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Using this option, your nuget.config should not have the ` ` section at all. — packageSourceCredentials. Tension: The docs for nuget.cofig's `packageSourceCredentials` has a few examples, and the second of which shows using a `%name%` substitution. Outcome: to get the value from an environment variable.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Spring Boot is not resolving the Secret Manager reference in application.yaml/bootstrap.yml and instead returns the raw value string (projects/my-project/secrets/password/versions/1) for the datasource password.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Wrap the Secret Manager expression in double quotes in the YAML (e.g., password: "${sm://projects/my-project/secrets/password/versions/1}"). To use the latest secret version, reference just the secret without /versions/1 (e.g., "${sm://projects/my-project/secrets/password}").

PERTAIN_TOSolution

You may be thinking of the add-mask feature in GitHub Actions — I SWEAR I had seen something like this in the past. Tension: GitLab CI doesn't offer this feature. Outcome: You may be thinking of the add-mask feature in GitHub Actions.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

the secret string `abc123` leaks up in three places: — If I run this,. Tension: I can replace the hardcoded password with something like `$(pass show cloudflare-api-key)`, in which case the password only leak s in `ps` output. Outcome: This is still bad, as an unprivileged daemon on my machine could steal my credentials.

PERTAIN_TORootCause

This file is also part of a git repository. — database connection string saved in the web.config file. Tension: prevent it from being compromised in case a bad actor gains access to my repository. Outcome: encrypting the file.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

`git-secret` encrypts files and stores them inside your `git` repository — securely storing secrets in a Git repository. Tension: doesn’t require any extra deploy operations other than providing the appropriate private key. Outcome: using `git secret reveal` to decrypt all the secret files.
