How to deploy a vitepress site, but build it with GitHub Actions

[BenRoe]

I need some advice.
I wanna host a static site (vitepress) with coolify.
The site shouldn't build on the coolify server, because it's the build process let the cpu usage spike. Other hosted services on the server should not been affected by it.
I already have a GitHub action that builds the vitepress site.

Question:

What the best way to deploy the static files from the GitHub Action with Coolify?

My thoughts:

1. Idea
   Upload the files via ssh and a GitHub action https://github.com/appleboy/scp-action

Problems:

• need to active the coolify api, but can not restrict these for ip's
• have wired permission problems for that separate created ssh user

2. Idea
   Use/create a Dockerfile with nginx and sftp. Upload the static files via sftp.
   Problems:

• Can't find a good way to get this running

3. Idea
   Push the static files to a separate repo and us the coolify static site build function.
   Problems:

• Feels wrong 🤷🏼

If you're building in a gh action then another option is you can just push the image to either ghcr.io or some other registry or your own, then just point coolify to the image, and at the end of your action send a webhook request to coolify.
