This module is not maintained anymore as i stopped using PM2 a long time ago, feel free to fork it to continue using it, fix your bugs or dev your features !

Description

PM2 module to receive http webhook from github, execute pre/post hook and gracefull reload the application using pm2.

Install

pm2 install pm2-githook

Configure

• port (Defaults to 8888) : The port that will be used by the http server to receive hooks.

• apps : Contains definition of applications in JSON :

    {
      "APP_NAME" : {
        "secret" : "supersecret",
        "prehook" : "npm install --production && git submodule update --init",
        "posthook" : "echo done",
        "errorhook" : "echo error",
        "service": "github"
      }
    }

  • APP_NAME is the name of the api in pm2 and in the url defined on github or gitlab (eg: : http://127.0.0.1:8888/APP_NAME).
  • secret is the secret you put in github/gitlab to verify that the transaction is made by github/gitlab.
  • prehook is the shell command executed in the cwd (care of this) of the app after the pull and before the gracefullReload.
  • posthook is the shell command executed in the cwd (care of this) of the app after making the gracefullReload.
  • errorhook is the shell command executed in the cwd (care of this) of the app if an error occurs.
  • service is the service used to make the http call (github is the default)
    • github : you'll need to set the same secret as defined in github (can specify branch)
    • gogs : (applies to forks such as gitea) you'll need to set the same secret as defined in gogs (can specify branch)
    • gitlab : you'll need to set the secret as the token defined in gitlab
    • jenkins : you'll need to set the secret as the ip of the jenkins (can specify branch)
    • bitbucket : secret not needed, bitbucket ip range is inside the code (can specify branch)
    • droneci : you'll need to set the secret to match the Authorization header defined inside the plugin (can specify branch)
  • nopm2 if set to true, we will not reload the application using pm2 (default to false)
  • cwd if provided we don't resolve the cwd using pm2 and will take this value (defaults to undefined)

(can specify branch) mean that you can use a addional configuration to run the posthook on a specific branch

How to set these values ?

After having installed the module you have to type : pm2 set pm2-githook:key value

To set the apps option and since its a json string, i advice you to escape it to be sure that the string is correctly set (using this kind of tool).

e.g:

• pm2 set pm2-githook:port 8080 (bind the http server port to 8080)
• pm2 set pm2-githook:apps "{\"APP_NAME\":{\"secret\":\"supersecret\",\"prehook\":\"npm install --production && git submodule update --init\",\"posthook\":\"echo done\",\"errorhook\":\"echo error\"}}"

Uninstall

pm2 uninstall pm2-githook
