hooker

Rack app to manage your github POST hooks

Configuration

Mail

Modify config/mail.rb to suit your needs. You can find all the options here. An example on how to use it with Sendgrid on Heroku:

Mail.defaults do
  delivery_method :smtp, {
    :port => 25,
    :address => "smtp.sendgrid.net",
    :domain => ENV["SENDGRID_DOMAIN"],
    :authentication => "plain",
    :user_name => ENV["SENDGRID_USERNAME"],
    :password => ENV["SENDGRID_PASSWORD"]
  }
end

TIP: If you're using sendmail, just comment or remove the configuration file.

config/config.yml

This is where you configure the notifications that you want to receive

repos:
  "http://github.com/dabit/dummy_repo":
    "refs/heads/master":
      recipients: [[email protected], [email protected]]
    "refs/heads/debug":
      recipients: [[email protected]]
  "http://github.com/defunkt/github":
    "refs/heads/master":
      recipients: [[email protected]]
    "refs/heads/debug":
      recipients: [[email protected]]

Run with rackup

Configure it to your needs, then run:

rackup config.ru

Run on Heroku

A quick way to set this up is by using heroku. Clone or fork the repo, change the settings to match your needs and just:

heroku create --stack bamboo-ree-1.8.7
heroku addons:add sendgrid:free
git push heroku

Run heroku info, copy the URL, and configure it to receive your POST hooks on github. And that's it!
