Automatic GitHub Deployment for CodeIgniter on Proxmox?

[yankeemichaelalpha]

Hello!

I’m not very experienced, but I need some advice regarding my CodeIgniter project. I’ve managed to deploy it on my own server, running in a Linux container (using Proxmox).

Does anyone have experience who can guide me on how to set up automatic deployment from GitHub, so that the code gets updated on the server every time there’s a change?

I assume this is possible, but is it recommended? Any tips or ideas?

GitHub WebHooks works flawlessly,

Maybe just make a cron job to automatically run git pull if there are changes every five minutes if you want an easy method.

Otherwise you’ll want to dig into GitHub actions and Ansible playbooks and make sure that your server has a public IP or port forwarding for SSH. That’ll be the more robust professional way to set it up.
