Push Watcher

A simple sinatra application that waits for a push notice from githup logs the action and will run commands as needed.

Install

git clone git://github.com/iansheridan/pushwatcher.git
cd pushwatcher
gem install bundler
bundle install

Server Setup

I usually run it as a Unicorn socket and use Nginx to proxy to it. Here is my Nginx config:

upstream unicorn_updates_server {
        # This is the socket we configured in unicorn.rb
        server unix:/path/to/sockets/unicorn.sock fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  updates.example.com;

        root   /path/to/static/assets;
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;

        location / {
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                proxy_redirect off;

                # If you don't find the filename in the static files
                # Then request it from the unicorn server
                if (!-f $request_filename) {
                        proxy_pass http://unicorn_updates_server;
                        break;
                }
        }

        # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   html;
        }


        location ~ /\.ht {
            deny  all;
        }
}

Make sure that you edit that config to your needs.
