+- `Deployment Failed, Permission denied (publickey,password)`: This issue occures in some cases, it is related to OS and ssh. This action can only provide a workaround:
+  - Use `SCRIPT_BEFORE` param, eg `SCRIPT_BEFORE: ls`. This will force `known_hosts` update, adding your host via `ssh-keyscan`.
+  - Or manually add public key to authorized_keys and add a new line to a private key.
 
 I've added e2e test for this action.
 Real example is executed on every PR merge to `main`.
 Check actions tab for example.
 
+When opening an issue, please add example of your step with env vars. You can add dummy values.
