trigger.rs

English(Chinglish), 简体中文

Yet another GitHub/GitLab Webhook listener, run shell commands with the events received from GitHub/GitLab.

Built with rifling.

Install

• Use cargo:

  cargo install trigger
  

• Download binary (currently Linux only) from GitHub release, and move it to your PATH.

Usage

Commandline help:

trigger --help

Start the program

trigger --config "<path to config file>"

Or, start trigger with debug log enabled:

TRIGGER_LOG=debug trigger --config "<path to config file>"

debug can be replaced with any other logging level you like (including error, warn, info, debug, trace).

Configuration

Trigger's configurations are in YAML format.

Example:

# Sample config

settings:
  host: 0.0.0.0:4567    # Host address trigger is going to listen
  secret: "secret"      # Secret used to authenticate payload (Optional)
  print_commands: false # Print command or not (Optional, default: false)
  capture_output: false # Capture output of the commands (Optional, default: false)
  exit_on_error: true   # Exit on error in commands (Optional, default: false)
  kotomei: true         # Warn you about letting @kotomei study for his exam or not (Optional, default: true)

events:
  common: |
    set -e;
    PAYLOAD='{payload}';
    function get_prop {
      echo $(echo ${PAYLOAD} | jq $1 | tr -d '"');
    }
    SENDER=$(get_prop '.sender.login');
    SENDER_ID=$(get_prop '.sender.id');
  all: echo "This command will be executed in all the events, the current event is {event}";
  push: echo "User \"${SENDER}\" with ID \"${SENDER_ID}\" pushed to this repository";
  watch: |
    ACTION=$(get_prop '.action');
    echo "GitHub user \"${SENDER}\" with ID \"${SENDER_ID}\" ${ACTION} watching this repository";
  else: echo "\"${SENDER}\" with ID \"${SENDER_ID}\" sent {event} event";

• Secret is not required, but it's strongly recommended.
• Commands in events.common will be executed before the actual event.
• Commands in events.all will be executed after receiving any valid request.
• All available events are listed here (GitHub) and here (GitLab).
  • Note: Events from GitLab need to be reformatted as replacing " "(whitespaces) with "_"(underscore) and make sure it's in lower case.
    • e.g. Push Hook in GitLab's documentation will be push_hook in trigger's configuration.
• Commands in events.else will be executed when no matching event defined.
• Placeholder {payload} in commands will be replaced with unparsed payload.
  • Please use single quotation mark to wrap around it.
  • It is possible to use jq to parse it if needed.
• Other placeholders (if not included in the delivery, they will be replaced with unknown):

  • {id} will be replaced with UUID of the event (GitHub only, GitLab does not provide this).

  • {event} will be replaced with type of the event.

  • {signature} will be replaced with signature of the payload.

  • {request_body} will be replaced with body of the request ().

It is also recommended to use it with a reverse proxy, such as nginx:

location /hook {
    proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:9999/;
}

Docker

1. To use trigger with docker, pull the image first:

   docker pull kaymw/trigger
   

2. Prepare your configuration as mentioned above.
3. Start the container

   docker run --volume $PWD:/work trigger trigger --config trigger.yaml
   

Note: In this docker image, trigger's default working directory is /work, and the default port is 4567.
