# GitHub Webhook Handler
## Simple C++ WebAPI to work with GitHub Webhooks
Currently creating a local copy of remote files on every push
## Usage
### Use installation script (recommended)
Run the installation script to install the application:
```console
curl -fsSL https://cdn.tiagorg.pt/gh-wh-handler/install.sh | sudo sh
```
### Run prebuilt binary
Head over to the [Releases Page](https://github.com/TiagoRG/gh-wh-handler/releases) and download the desired binary.
Run the application using your configuration file:
```console
/path/to/gh-wh-handler.<arch> /path/to/config.json
```
You can see the config file format below.
### Install from source
#### Install the dependencies:
- [CrowCpp](https://crowcpp.org/master/)
- [nlohmann::json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json)
#### Build the application:
1. Clone the repository:
```console
git clone https://github.com/TiagoRG/gh-wh-handler.git
```
2. Move to the build directory:
```console
cd gh-wh-handler/build
```
3. Run CMake:
```console
cmake ..
```
4. Build and install the application:
```console
sudo make install
```
#### Run the application:
The application is running on a systemd service, which is both enabled and started after installation.
You can start, stop, restart, and check the status of the service using the following commands:
```console
sudo systemctl start gh-wh-handler # Start the service
sudo systemctl stop gh-wh-handler # Stop the service
sudo systemctl restart gh-wh-handler # Restart the service
sudo systemctl status gh-wh-handler # Check the status of the service
```
You can also check the logs of the service using the following command:
```console
journalctl -u gh-wh-handler
```
## Configuration
As of now, the configuration menu is not yet implemented so you have to create the configuration file manually.
### Config File
The configuration file can be found in `/services/gh-wh-handler/config.json` and has the following format:
```json
{
"port": 65001,
"update-files": {
"owner/repo-name": {
"branch": "main",
"files": {
"path/to/remote/file": "/path/to/local/file",
"...": "..."
},
"post-update": [
"post-update-command",
"post-update-script",
"..."
]
}
},
"run-scripts": {
"owner/repo-name": {
"branch": "main",
"actions": [
"command",
"script",
]
}
},
"tokens": {
"owner/repo-name": "token"
}
}
```
## Endpoints
Currently, the only endpoint for the application is `/update-files`, which is used to update the local files on every push as well as run post-update scripts.
Since only the `/update-files` endpoint is implemented, the configuration file may not contain the `run-scripts` field.
