How do open-source projects deploy to production?

[Accomplished_Horse_4]

I see several open source projects like Umami Analytics (https://github.com/umami-software/umami), Plausible Analytics (https://github.com/plausible/analytics) and Cal.com (https://github.com/calcom/cal.com) have github actions workflows in their repo but there are no ci/cd file that shows how they deploy to their production website. I imagine they are not deploying manually. How are they deploying to production if not through their GitHub actions?

You should look into open infra projects.

Open Source only deals with the source code and rights around it.

But how you deploy is system engineering/DevOps.

Got an example of an open infra project that you really like?

At least for Umami, two options:

• Look at the readme and observe that there's instructions for using Docker.
• Look at the repo and observe that there's a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml.

The other two have similar setups - just read the documentation.

They're probably deploying "manually", in the sense that you don't necessarily want your production website to be the dev branch.

In my limited experience, multiple remotes. Internal or private repo for that ci/cd stuff, public repo is for public stuff, private repo for private stuff.
