SSH scripts

The SSH action allows you to run scripts and commands on your server. For example, you can add a script that will minify JS files and restart your application after the deployment.

Mode 1: Run as script

By default the commands are run in Run as a script mode. You can choose between SH or BASH specific syntax and use Buddy variables and parameters in commands and URLs (see below):

Box Box

Mode 2: Line by line

If you switch the mode off, the commands will be executed in the non-interactive mode. This means that:

Each line is executed in the context of the working directory (default: user’s home dir)
Lines are executed from top to bottom
Each command should be one separate line
If a command fails, the next line will not be executed and the action will fail (unless you check ignore errors)
Use absolute paths: the cd command will not be carried to the next line
You can use Buddy specific variables and parameters in commands and URLs
Environment variables between lines are not shared

If you want to use a more complex script, it its advised to call it from the server side (make sure the exit code it returns is correct).

Supported Environment Variables

Buddy populate a number of environment variables during each execution, for example the branch from which you deploy and the ID of the execution. Here is the list of populated variables:
