Hi, I have following server configuration: Development Machine Ubuntu 22 Apache with mySQL I have created a website on the machine. I have installed Gitea on the same server (Self-Hosted Installation). I created a local repository and the flow is working perfect. Now, when my developer pushes the files in gitea repository, I want to copy that file to live website path i.e., /var/www/html/website.com Can someone please advise on how can I do this? Thanks in advance. ---

Have you looked into > **[Gitea Actions | Gitea Documentation](https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/overview)** > > Starting with Gitea 1.19, Gitea Actions are available as a built-in CI/CD solution. ---

Hi, The actions work fine with my repository. I tested it by referring to [Quick Start | Gitea Documentation](https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/quickstart) Now, I want to copy the files from repository to live site path. But, I couldn’t find the source path of the content uploaded in repository. Where do my files reside when I push them? Or I do need to pull content from git url i.e. [http://192.168.0.111:3000/git-admin/Test.git](http://192.168.0.111:3000/git-admin/Test.git) ---

I created a shell script to copy content from gitea repository to /var/www/html/website.com path. When I check the action tab, it is showing failure… ```auto sh /home/harry/code-deploy.sh sh: 0: cannot open /home/harry/code-deploy.sh: No such file ``` The script has the code to pull content from my gitea repository to live site path. If I run that script manually it runs fine without any issue. When I added that script in gitea yaml file, the action is failing. The code is like this: ```auto name: Gitea Actions Demo run-name: ${{ gitea.actor }} is testing out Gitea Actions on: [push] jobs: Explore-Gitea-Actions: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: sh /home/harry/code-deploy.sh ``` Can someone please advice what I am doing wrong? ---

Okay, it looks like when I push changes to repository, it’s present working directory is /workspace/git-admin/Harry-Test I temporarily disabled the shell script. And even if I try to just sudo su, it can’t perform the action. So, I believe it creates a temporary path to perform actions. That path is not even present on the server physically. Not sure how to execute my shell script using this Gitea actions. If anyone has any idea, please share. Thanks, See the attached output screen capture ![Screenshot from 2023-10-24 10-22-16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gitea/original/2X/3/3439c62140afe0fecb9e962b73de951fe05ddd88.png) ---

There is no `sudo` command installed on the default container. You can install `sudo` with `apt-get install -y sudo` before use the command. ---

Thanks, lunny. But, my script is at outside of docker container. Shell script path: /home/ows4/code-deploy.sh If I execute the script command line, it works fine. But, when I add it in YAML file - GITEA action, it says no such file here. See the attached. I believe, it is trying to find the shell script path within the docker container. How can I tell that action to find and execute that script outside of the docker. (P.S. I am new to docker. I do not have much knowledge in docker yet…) Thanks in advance. ![Screenshot-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gitea/original/2X/0/036baa72a02eebc5450d2a03debd79cd5fceb3eb.png) ---

How about putting the file into your repository? ---

Same error. when I did PWD on the action, it shows path: /workspace/git-admin/harry-test I believe, the action is trying to find deploy.sh script in above path. Not sure how come the present working directory is set to that path… ![Screenshot-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gitea/original/2X/5/5576c84465044a46044496c991d1e0e1b1f86d0f.png) ---

If you can confirm the file is there, that means it needs executable permission. You can `chmod +x ` before you push it to repository.
