girl is a Github Readme Link Checker
served over HTTP with Scala
and Spray.
A public version is hosted at http://bamos.github.io/girl.
To prevent misuse, girl restricts usage to GitHub users with over 50 followers or users and organizations on the whitelist. Please add your accounts and submit a pull request to gain access. Thanks!
Before running locally,
set your GitHub API token
in the environment variable GITHUB_TOKEN,
or modify the GitHub API connection in
Girl.scala
to another option from
kohsuke.github.GitHub.
Also in Girl.scala, if desired, set the minimum number of
required followers to zero: val reqFollowers = 0.
girl is built with sbt.
Executing sbt run from the girl directory will download
the dependencies, compile the source code, and start
an HTTP server on 0.0.0.0:8585.
Main.scala
configures the interface and port.
sbt-revolver is helpful for development.
Start an sbt shell and execute ~re-start,
which re-compiles and restarts the server upon source code changes.
Girl can be deployed as a container with Docker.
After replacing the string <token> in the
Dockerfile
with your GitHub API token, the following command
will build and start the girl as an HTTP server on port 8585
of the container.
docker build -t girl .
girl.service is an example systemd service that calls start-service.sh to automatically start girl with the system.
Modify the paths to this repo on your system in both of the scripts
and copy girl.service to /etc/systemd/system/girl.service.
A symlink will not work, see
this bug report
for more details.
Basic controls are:
sudo systemctl start girl
sudo systemctl stop girl
sudo systemctl restart girl
And run on startup with:
sudo systemctl enable girl
