Installing pagure’s web-hooks notification system

Web-hooks are a notification system upon which a system makes a http POST request with some data upon doing an action. This allows notifying a system that an action has occurred.

If you want more information feel free to check out the corresponding page on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook.

Configure your system

• Install the required dependencies

python-redis
python-trollius
python-trollius-redis

Note

We ship a systemd unit file for pagure_webhook but we welcome patches for scripts for other init systems.

• Install the files of the web-hook server as follow:

Source	Destination
webhook-server/pagure-webhook-server.py	/usr/libexec/pagure-webhook/pagure-webhook-server.py
webhook-server/pagure_webhook.service	/etc/systemd/system/pagure_webhook.service

The first file is the script of the web-hook server itself.

The second file is the systemd service file.

• Activate the service and ensure it’s started upon boot:

systemctl enable redis
systemctl start redis
systemctl enable pagure_webhook
systemctl start pagure_webhook
