Sync Configuration ​

Sync settings control what gets uploaded to the server before deploy actions run.

sync_paths ​

  • Type: array[string]
  • Optional.
  • Extra files/directories (relative to gci.toml) to sync into the remote service directory.

Example:

toml
sync_paths = ["./ops", "./scripts"]

Behavior:

  • Compose files from driver_docker_swarm.stacks[].compose_file are synced automatically, even if not listed in sync_paths.
  • Stack compose files are template-rendered automatically during deploy before they are synced.

exclude_patterns ​

  • Type: array[string]
  • Optional.
  • Excludes matching files/directories from sync.

Common default-style values:

toml
exclude_patterns = [".git", "node_modules", "__pycache__", "*.pyc"]

Matching behavior:

  • Full relative-path glob matching.
  • Basename/segment matching for simple patterns without /.
  • Directory-prefix matching when pattern ends with /.
