GitHub Actions for Dappnode Packages

GitHub Actions help automate workflows around your projects on GitHub. For Dappnode packages, we utilize specific GitHub Actions to manage updates and releases.

1. Auto Check for Upstream Updates (auto_check.yml)

This action checks if there's an available update from the upstream repository. If an update is found, it creates a Pull Request with the new version.

Workflow File:

Filename: auto_check.yml

name: Bump upstream version

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "00 */4 * * *"
  push:
    branches:
      - "master"

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - run: npx @dappnode/dappnodesdk github-action bump-upstream
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          PINATA_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.PINATA_API_KEY }}
          PINATA_SECRET_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.PINATA_SECRET_API_KEY }}

Features:

• Scheduled Runs: The action runs every 4 hours (as per the cron setting).
• Environment Variables: Uses GITHUB_TOKEN for authentication, and PINATA_API_KEY and PINATA_SECRET_API_KEY for interfacing with the IPFS pinning service Pinata.

2. Main Build and Pre-release (main.yml)

This action builds the Dappnode package and creates a pre-release that's ready to be published.

Workflow File:

Filename: main.yml

name: "Main"
on:
  pull_request:
  push:
    branches:
      - "main"
      - "master"
      - "v[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+"
    paths-ignore:
      - "README.md"

jobs:
  build-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Build test
    if: github.event_name != 'push'
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - run: npx @dappnode/dappnodesdk build --skip_save

  release:
    name: Release
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: github.event_name == 'push'
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Publish
        run: npx @dappnode/dappnodesdk publish patch --dappnode_team_preset
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          DEVELOPER_ADDRESS: "0xf35960302a07022aba880dffaec2fdd64d5bf1c1"

Features:

• Branch Filters: The action only triggers on the main, master, and version tags (e.g., v1.0.0).
• Paths Ignore: Ignores changes solely related to README.md.
• Conditional Runs: Different steps are executed based on the event that triggered the workflow (e.g., push event or pull request).
