The simplest github webhook server to auto deploy

(Actually it's abused of express but just to KIS)

Installation

If you doesn't have node and npm, my piece of advice is get it with nvm. Because npm is a bit disabled with 'create project' functionality here is turn to use good old github clone.

• git clone https://github.com/shov/github-webhook-autodeploy.git
• cd ./github-webhook-autodeploy
• npm i

Usage

Important thing is script expect to has several env values and you allowed to provide them in a way that you prefer. I've left here ecosystem.json.example with which easy to start using it with pm2 (bit more about ecosystem file)

My way comfortable start:

• npm i pm2 -g if you have not installed yet surely
• npm i
• Rename ecosystem.json.example to ecosystem.json
• Edit it
• Run pm2 start ecosystem.json

Or here you go my minimalist hero:

HOOK_KEY="secreturlpart" HOOK_REF="refs/heads/master" HOOK_CWD="../" HOOK_ACTION="git pull origin master" PORT=6660 node ./app.js

Hint about github.com

• Secret doesn't matter.
• Pay attention are you really can use ssl, it's often error is that webhook works on http, but you trying to set in github https
