Simple Git Deploy

This simple application provides automatic update of git repositories on your server. Triggered by a webhook (like the one from github), it can be very useful when you don't have (or don't want) a fully-fleged CI-Server to update your website.

Note: The application currently runs only under linux-systems as it uses a bash-script to update.

Usage

Usage is pretty simple. Simply configure the application via config.ini:

ssh_key=/path/to/deploy-key
git_url=ssh://git@your-server.tld/gitproject.git
deploy_dir=/path/to/deploy/dir
container_name=
secret= iamverySecret
interface=":8080" 
branch_name=refs/heads/master 

• ssh_key: Path to the Deploy-SSH
• git_url: SSH-Path to your Git-Project
• deploy_dir: The folder to which the updated version of your site will be deployed. You need write permissions.
• container_name: If you run your site within a docker-container, the application can automatically restart the container for any changes to take effect.
• secret: The Secret sent by the webhook - to prevent abuse
• interface: The interface the server should listen on
• branch_name: The name of the branch. If an update to this branch is triggered, the application will run the update.

Troubleshooting

"error decoding response"

Make sure the request is made with "application/x-www-urlencoded"

Error 127

You recive an errormessage like this:

2017/04/29 16:51:51 Recived payload, Secret: m3VScr9st09y , Ref: refs/heads/master
2017/04/29 16:51:51 Recived corresponding secret:  m3VScr9st09y
2017/04/29 16:51:51 Starting update...
2017/04/29 16:51:51 exit status 127

Make sure the deploy.sh exists in the same folder as your binary and is executable.

Not Cloning - the script runs pretty fast but wont clone

Check the permissions of your keyfile. They should be 600, otherwise the ssh-agent will ignore the keyfile and won't clone:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@         WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!          @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Permissions 0664 for '/path/to/deploy-key' are too open.
It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.
This private key will be ignored.
