Setup Railway CLI in GitHub Actions

Liberapay GitHub issues

Setup Railway CLI for GitHub Actions, without reading the install script file for configuring installs.

Note that this Railway CLI stuff in GitHub Actions is under work-in-progress and only Linux runners will be fully supported on v0.1.0 for now. While macOS has bash, we can't full promise about if it's works, but we'll working on it. Windows runner support will be the on the bottom of the backlog due to User Account Control workarounds and even possiblt not supporting the . Contributors are always welcome!

Using the Action

It's easy as plugging the action to your workflow files painlessly, if you only use project tokens.

# Since this is shiny new project, proceed at your own risk!
# Also we need contributors for make these config below in the
# README to work.
- name: Setup Railway CLI
  uses: MadeByThePinsHub/[email protected]

The default will install the latest version of the CLI using the install script.

If you need to generate your API token, copy the following into your private repo's .gothub/workflows/generate-railway-api-token.yml:

name: JWT Generator for Railway CLI

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      email:
        description: Email address of your Railway account
        required: true

jobs:
  authenicate-to-api:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      # Install the CLI first
      - uses: MadeByThePinsHub/[email protected]

      # then we'll log in in browserless mode
      # remember to keep yourself on the action logs for the link
      # click on it, confirm that the passpharse matches and hit that purple button
      - name: Authenicate the CLI
        run: railway login --browserless

      # Then we'll get the token for you.
      - name: Get token
        run: echo Your token is $(cat ~/.railway/config.json | jq .user.token), keep this secret.
      # We might implement an better way for this one.

More examples are in the examples directory, including deploying to Railway.

Config / Customizations

  • repo-url - URL of custom Railway CLI repo (we'll build the CLI manually), requires Golang to be in PATH.
  • repo-branch - Requires repo-url if filled out, Git branch for reproducible builds (used on cloning an specific branch), requires Golang to be in PATH.
# This feature is currently broken and will fix soon.
- name: Setup Railway CLI (base on railwayapp/cli#126)
  uses: MadeByThePinsHub/[email protected]
  with:
    # This will install Go dependencies first before doing 'make build'
    repo-url: https://github.com/railwayapp/cli
    # change this to master to try latest features first before
    # they go released on Deploy Fridays, as CDC recommends.
    repo-branch: j/allow-up-no-user
  • npm-mode - Set this to true to install it through npm, useful if you use Windows runners. (May need sudo for Linux/macOS and some User Account Control trick for Windows.)
# We don't check where the executable path Node.js and NPM is
# because we need to support both Linux and macOS runners.
# Windows might be abit tircky because of UAC. We'll fix that
# soon, including some win32 handling stuff.
