Configure scheduled updates

last updated at 2022-06-27

To make maintanence of multiple websites easier, you can configure scheduled updates with GitHub actions.

Setup

Add update-dependencies.yml (or any other name) file to .github/workflows in your root folder.

name: update-dependencies # Controls when the workflow will run on: # Triggers the workflow at 21pm (depends on timezone) on thursday, once a week. schedule: - cron: '0 21 * * THU' # Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab workflow_dispatch: # A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel jobs: # This workflow contains a single job called "update_dependencies" update_dependencies: # The type of runner that the job will run on runs-on: ubuntu-latest # Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job steps: # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it - name: Checkout uses: actions/checkout@v3 # Setup dotnet environment - name: Setup .NET 3.1 uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1 with: dotnet-version: 3.1.301 # Setup dotnet environment - name: Setup .NET 5 uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1 with: dotnet-version: 5.0.102 # Install node + npm - name: Setup Node.js environment uses: actions/setup-node@v3.4.0 with: node-version: 16 # Install rollup for bundling (needs setup described in "installation") - name: Install rollup run: npm install --global rollup@3.1.0 # Update @nfdi4plants/web-components - name: Update to latest nfdi4plants web components run: npm install @nfdi4plants/web-components@latest # Bundle web components with rollup - name: Bundle npm packages run: rollup --config rollup.config.js --bundleConfigAsCjs # This Part is Fornax specific and installs paket - name: Restore dotnet tools run: dotnet tool restore # Update Nfdi4Plants.Fornax via Paket - name: Update to latest Nfdi4Plants.Fornax version run: dotnet paket update Nfdi4Plants.Fornax - name: Commit and push changes uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4 with: commit_message: Update @nfdi4plants/web-components & Nfdi4Plants.Fornax ⬆️

This specific example will update @nfdi4plants/web-components via npm and rollup and Nfdi4Plants.Fornax via paket. Should you use another GitHub action to deploy for example to gh-pages. You can add the following trigger event to trigger the deploy event after updating:

# Controls when the workflow will run on: # Triggers the workflow on push or pull request events but only for the "main" branch push: branches: [ "main" ] # triggers when "update-dependencies" is completed workflow_run: workflows: [ update-dependencies ] types: [ completed ]
