i/o timeout

[irakli-ika]

Hello, I try to deploy a project with Github to Digitalocean, I use ssh-action@v1.0.3 and have this issue ***:22: i/o timeout.
I saw old solutions with port: 8000 but it returns the same error ***:8000: i/o timeout, can you help me fix this issue?

    environment: production
    needs: [test]
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'

@felipe3dfx Your SSH Server OS version and make sure your firewall policy?

have you try add step to add vpn connection so at least you can ping the target server?

[ariwijayaikd]

@felipe3dfx did your self runner can ssh to the target host?
edit:

Thanks for the feedback, I researched and saw connect with a docker image, is the correct way? when I try this way it returns Failed to open /dev/net/tun Error: 2. No such file or directory. can you help me with how can I connect with a VPN?

[ariwijayaikd]

@irakli-ika depend on your case, but for me I use ovpn, so the jobs can go like this

jobs:
  deployment:
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Make VPN USER
        run: |
          echo "${{ secrets.USERVPN }}" > .github/workflows/vpn
      - name: Make Client VPN File
        run: |
          echo "${{ secrets.CLIENTVPN }}" > .github/workflows/client.ovpn
      - name: Install Open VPN
        run: |
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install openvpn
      - name: Connect VPN
        run: |
          sudo openvpn --config .github/workflows/client.ovpn --daemon
      - name: Build on server
        uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
        with:
          host: ${{ secrets.HOST }}
          username: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.PASSWORD }}
          port: ${{ secrets.PORT }}
          script: |
            yourscript
      - name: kill vpn
        if: always()
        run: sudo killall openvpn

@felipe3dfx Your SSH Server OS version and make sure your firewall policy?

I don't have any restrictions on the firewall for port 22.

• Ubuntu Server 22.04.4 LTS

@felipe3dfx Where is your server? in Linode or any other cloud provider?

[ariwijayaikd]

I am experiencing a similar issue. I am using a GitHub self-hosted runner and from that server I was able to SSH into the target server. However, when using the appleyboy ssh-action, I am getting timeout response.

@appleboy I use Linode (Runner included)
