Github Repository: https://github.com/Cytric/Auto-deploy

# Bot Restart Action

This GitHub Action automatically restarts your bot hosted on **Cytric** whenever you push new code to your repository.\
It’s a simple and reliable way to automatically deploy updates, apply fixes, or refresh your bot’s environment.

***

## 🧩 Requirements

Use our official workflow: [Auto-deploy](https://github.com/Cytric/Auto-deploy)

Before setting up, you’ll need:

* A **Cytric Panel API Key** — get yours from your [Cytric Account](https://panel.Cytric.nl)
* Your **Server ID**, found in your bot’s dashboard on the Cytric panel

***

## ⚙️ Setup

This GitHub Action requires **one secret** and **one variable** to be configured in your repository.

1. Go to your repository’s **Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions**.
2. Add the following:
   * **Secret:**\
     Name — `PTERODACTYL_API_KEY`\
     Value — your Cytric Panel API key
   * **Variable:**\
     Name — `SERVER_ID`\
     Value — your Cytric server ID
3. After setting them up, navigate to the **Actions** tab and create a new workflow.
4. Paste the contents of [`main.yml`](/main.yml) into your workflow file and commit the changes.

***

## 🔁 Result

Once configured, every time you push to your `main` branch, your bot will:

* Automatically restart on Cytric
* Pull the latest changes from your repository
* Stay up to date without manual restarts
