Update a remote Drupal 8+ instance

This GitHub action runs remote commands over SSH to update a Drupal 8+ instance. When a deployment is made, a Drupal instance needs to run specific commands:

1. Database updates
2. Config import
3. Cache rebuild
4. Translation updates
5. etc.

Inputs

• path - (Default: empty) - Full absolute path on the remote server where the Drupal instance is located
• server_name - (Default: server) - Is the name of the server given in the SSH configuration (.ssh/config)
• drush - (Default: ./vendor/bin/drush) - Name of Drush executable to use for deployments instead of default one from vendor
• enable_extra_modules - (Default: empty) - After the deployment is done, some extra modules can be enabled (i.e. field_ui views_ui devel devel_generate etc.)
• enable_maintenance_mode - (Default: "true") - Enables the maintenance mode.

Here's an example how to configure a remote SSH server myserver given in the example below:

      - name: "Configure SSH"
        run: |
          mkdir -p ~/.ssh/
          echo "$SSH_KEY" > ~/.ssh/server.key
          chmod 600 ~/.ssh/server.key
          cat >>~/.ssh/config <<END
          Host myserver
            HostName $SSH_HOST
            User $SSH_USER
            IdentityFile ~/.ssh/server.key
            StrictHostKeyChecking no
          END
