This is the Courseplay Release Creator GitHub app. It listens for push
events on the courseplay repository's master branch.
If such an event is received, it starts the packCourseplay shell
script to clone the master branch and creates a zip file called
FSxx_Courseplay.zip from the contents of the Courseplay source
directory, where xx is the version (19, 22 or 25) based on the repository received in the event.
Files matching the patterns in exclude.lst will not be included in
the zip.
Once the zip file is created, the app attempts to create a release
on GitHub with the version number found in modDesc.xml. This will
succeed only if no such release exist yet, so only the first push
with a different version will result in a new release.
Subsequent pushes on master with the same release won't update an
existing release.
Unpack or clone this on a Linux server. Make sure node and npm is
installed.
Change to the installation directory and install the dependencies with
npm install
The App uses a Webhook secret and a private key for authentication with GitHub. You can enter/generate these at https://github.com/organizations/Courseplay/settings/apps/courseplay-release-creator.
Make sure the environment you run the App has the SECRET and PRIVATE_KEY
variables set, the App uses these to get the Webhook secret and the
private key. You can do this for instance in .bashrc:
export SECRET='your secret'
export PRIVATE_KEY='-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
your private key here, on multiple lines
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----'Make sure you use single quotes around the private key to preserve the line breaks.
Now you can start the App with
nohup node createCourseplayRelease.js &You can also set it up as a service, TODO for later...
