Kamal is a wonderfully simple way to deploy your applications anywhere. It will also be included by default in Rails 8. Kamal is trivial, but I don’t recommend using it on your development machine.

  GitHub Action to build and push Docker images with Buildx

  

We use the docker/build-push-action to build the application image. In addition to setting the correct tag, the image build step must also provide a label matching your service name. Because the image should be pushed to your container registry, we set push: true, and because we want ludicrous build speed we instruct the build step to utilize the GitHub Actions cache.

  GitHub Action to setup `ssh-agent` with a private key

  

Once the image has been built and pushed, you only need to trigger the deployment using Kamal. We use the webfactory/ssh-agent to establish a connection to our production server. After installing the required Ruby dependencies, it’s only a matter of running Kamal. As the image is already built and pushed, we use the --skip-push flag.
