This project proposes the use of a Python flask server to validate the action of a github webhook. The secret key given at the creation of the webhook is verified and allows the execution of the particular system command. For example, a bash script allowing a specific deployment.
You can create a webhook for your project from: https://github.com/${username}/${project}/settings/hooks.
Install the Python requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then create a configuration file config.json adapted to your needs by replacing the content of the proposed config.example.json file:
{
"flask_secret": "your_flask_app_secret",
"webhook_secret": "your_webhook_secret",
"command": "echo \"Webhook has been reached\""
}Note: you can generate your own flask secret key. A secret key that will be used for securely signing the session cookie.
Finnaly, you can run your webhook management server:
gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 wsgi:appNote: from the webhook configuration, run it again if necessary (without submitting a particular commit) to check that it works.
