Pipelines deploy with rsync in php image

Question

I'm trying to write the script to do continuous deployment after the testing, but rsync is not installed in pipelines containers. apt-get install rsync doesn't work either.

How do you advise me to do continuous deployment over ssh?

I use the image: php:7.1.1

# This is a sample build configuration for PHP.
# Check our guides at https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/e8YWN for more examples.
# Only use spaces to indent your .yml configuration.
# -----
# You can specify a custom docker image from Docker Hub as your build environment.
image: php:7.1.1

pipelines:
 branches:
 master:
 - step:
 caches:
 - composer
 script:
 - apt-get update && apt-get install -y unzip rsync
 - curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
 - composer install
 - step:
 name: rsync
 script: 
 - rsync -zrSlh --stats --exclude-from=deployment-exclude-list.txt $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/ $DEPLOY_USER@$DEPLOY_HOST:$DEPLOY_PATH

In case this helps anyone, my working pipeline:

image: atlassian/default-image:latest

pipelines:
  custom:
    staging:
      - step:
          name: 'Deploy to staging'
          deployment: staging
script:
            - rsync -rltDvzCh --delete --stats --exclude-from=deployment/exclude -e 'ssh -e none' $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/ $DEPLOY_USER@$DEPLOY_HOST:$DEPLOY_PATH
production:
      - step:
          name: 'Deploy to production'
          deployment: production
script:
            - rsync -rltDvzCh --delete --stats --exclude-from=deployment/exclude -e 'ssh -e none' $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/ $DEPLOY_USER@$DEPLOY_HOST:$DEPLOY_PATH

I struggled with 2 issues:

* The -a rsync option was causing permission problems which is why I had to use -rltD instead
* If ssh has an EscapeChar set (which it does by default), it's not fully transparent so I had to add -e none to the ssh options
