This action creates a docker context, allowing access to a remote docker engine over SSH from your workflows. By default, you must refer to the context by its name with the --context switch, or you can set use_context to true in order to set that new context as the current docker context.

Required. URL to the remote docker engine in format ssh://username@hostname.domain.tld.

Required. Name of the remote context on the local docker client.

If set to true, the docker context will be set as the current docker context. Defaults to false.

Public key of the SSH server, in known_hosts format. The public key is added to the current user's known_hosts file, and you can reuse previously added keys. Using a Github secret is recommended.

Private key of the SSH client. The key is stored using ssh-agent, so you can reuse an existing private key instead. Using a Github secret is recommended.
