Release Watcher

Release Watcher is an application that ... watches for releases.

You can configure it with a list of things to watch for, and it will search for new releases.

Sources

A source handles listing the things you want to watch for. Release Watcher currently supports :

• inline YAML configuration, inside config.yaml
• external YAML file

Watchers

A watcher is a type of thing you want to watch for. Release Watcher currently supports :

• Docker image : watches for new tags pushed on a docker v2 registry
• GitHub release : watches for a new release in a GitHub repository
• GitHub tag : watches for a new tag in a GitHub repository
• GitHub commit : watches for new commits in a GitHub repository
• Python Package Index (PyPI) : watches for new releases
• Raw HTML page : extracts items from a web page (for example a Gogs repo)

Outputs

New releases are written to an output. Release Watcher currently supports :

• YAML file
• CSV file
• Prometheus file
• Prometheus HTTP endpoint

Installation

Docker

You can use the following environment variables :

• CONFIG_PATH (defaults to /data/config.yaml) : path to the configuration file

The easiest way to use the image is to mount a /data folder :

mkdir data
cp example/{config,github_watchers}.yaml data/
# vi data/config.yaml
docker run -v $(pwd)/data:/data ghcr.io/neraud/release-watcher:latest

If you want to use the Prometheus HTTP output, you will need to forward the configured port.

docker run -v $(pwd)/data:/data -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/neraud/release-watcher:latest
