You guys hate the evil GitHub empire, but the way to do this is to create a GitHub action that pushes the site whenever  the branch that contains the active docs is pushed. See PROJ, PDAL, GDAL, and others for examples of this pattern working successfully for large projects.

A cron on some random computer somewhere with cached credentials is fragile, brittle, tied to the person who knows the details of it, and probably insecure.
