Guide to Securely Deploying an SQLite Database to a Docker Container with GitHub Actions

I remember my VPS disk filling up to 100% on April 28th, but in this post, I'm sharing a guide on securely deploying an SQLite database to a Docker container using GitHub Actions.

Security Definition

# Dockerfile FROM python:3.9-slim

# SQLite installation RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y sqlite3

# SQLite database creation RUN sqlite3 /db.sqlite3 < /schema.sql

# Our database file to be deployed to the container COPY database.db /db.sqlite3

# .github/workflows/deploy.yml name : Deploy SQLite Database

on : push : branches : - main

jobs : deploy : runs-on : ubuntu-latest steps : - name :…
