publish-org-roam-ui

This action generates a static site for org-roam-ui from org-roam files managed on GitHub.

It also allows deployment to GitHub Pages. (See https://ikoamu.github.io/publish-org-roam-ui/)

By using this, you can easily publish your org-roam as a digital garden 🌱

How to Use

First, please manage the .org files in org-roam-directory and the db file in org-roam using git.

(setq org-roam-directory "/path/to/org-roam-dir")
(setq org-roam-db-location "/path/to/org-roam-dir/<org-roam-filename>.db")

cd /path/to/org-roam-dir/
git init

Then, a static org-roam-ui site is easily generated for the artifact by creating a workflow like the following.

name: Generate static org-roam-ui page
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  main:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Generate org-roam-ui page
        uses: ikoamu/publish-org-roam-ui@main
        with:
          org-roam-db-filename: <org-roam-filename>.db

Deploy to GitHub Pages by setting deploy-to-pages to true. And sets permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN to allow deployment to GitHub Pages.

Under the repositories Settings > GitHub Pages select Deply from Action.

permissions:
  contents: read
  pages: write
  id-token: write

jobs:
  main:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Generate org-roam-ui page
        uses: ikoamu/publish-org-roam-ui@main
        with:
          org-roam-db-filename: <org-roam-filename>.db
          deploy-to-pages: true

Show Image

You can create an img directory directly under the repository and display image files stored there.

[[./img/test.png]]

Store org files in subdirectory

Set org-roam-directory to store org files in a subdirectory instead of directly under the repository.

jobs:
  main:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Generate org-roam-ui page
        uses: ikoamu/publish-org-roam-ui@main
        with:
          org-roam-directory: org-files
          org-roam-db-filename: org-roam.db
