Your DNS server does not resolve my domain correctly

[popov654]

I have the following action code:

name: Deploy

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  deployment:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: main

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1

    - name: Copy repository contents via scp
      uses: appleboy/scp-action@master
      with:
        HOST: ${{ secrets.HOST }}
        USERNAME: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
        PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PASSWORD }}
        PORT: ${{ secrets.PORT }}
        KEY: ${{ secrets.SSHKEY }}
        source: "."
        target: "/opt/cloudfave"

    - name: Executing remote command
      uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
      with:
        host: ${{ secrets.HOST }}
        USERNAME: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
        PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PASSWORD }}
        PORT: ${{ secrets.PORT }}
        KEY: ${{ secrets.SSHKEY }}
        script: sudo npm install && sudo systemctl restart nodeserver

It gives me this error on execution:

drone-scp error: error copy file to dest: ***, error message: dial tcp: lookup *** on 168.63.129.16:53: no such host

I don't want to use an IP address in my variables since it may change in the future. Should not DNS work correctly?

Similar issue with me but with Tailscale. I am not an expert on Actions but why would it not use DNS from the Action host?

I have exactly same issue with Cloudflare WARP

Same with Twingate

I'm not exactly sure why that happens, but my guess is that it's due to docker's networking (this action runs docker under the hood). Using terminal commands instead of github action is working fine https://github.com/appleboy/drone-scp

Yes, I can confirm. When using vanilla scp, our connection works.
