github-release-redirector

Small go application that listens for incoming HTTP requests and redirects to assets from the latest release published to a GitHub repository.

Usage

$ go install .
$ github-release-redirector -port 1234 -repo user/repo

or using docker:

$ docker run -p 8080:8080 csmith/github-release-redirector -repo user/repo

Options

Usage of github-release-redirector:
  -poll int
    	the amount of time to wait between polling for releases; 0 to disable polling (default 3600)
  -port int
    	the port to listen on for HTTP requests (default 8080)
  -redirect string
    	if specified, requests for / will be redirected to this url
  -repo string
    	the repository to redirect releases for, in user/repo format [required]
  -webhook string
    	full path to receive release webhooks from GitHub on

Notes

Root redirecting

If the -redirect option is specified, then requests to the root (i.e. /) will be redirected to that URL, and no further processing will be done for that request.

Polling and webhooks

Releases are refreshed at startup and then, by default, once an hour. You can customise this duration with the -poll option; setting the poll time to 0 will disable polling entirely other than at startup.

As an alternative to polling, you can configure a webhook URL with the -webhook argument. This must be the full URL that GitHub will call when a release is made, and it is advisable to include a secret in the URL to avoid any client on the Internet being able to trigger a refresh.

For example if you run with -webhook /webhook/gjrCBVy7, you should configure GitHub to send pull requests to https://yourserver.example.com/webook/gjrCBVy7. You should configure the WebHook to only send individual events, and select only the Releases option.

The contents of the webhook are not used; it is merely used as a signal to start a refresh using the GitHub API.

When running with the -webhook option it is recommended to also disable polling with -poll 0, or set the polling time to a much larger value.

Asset matching

Assets are matched on their name, so an asset attached to the latest release named “myproject-installer-1.2.3.exe” will be available at the URL /myproject-installer-1.2.3.exe.

Any url not mapped to an asset is responded to with a 404 not found error; if there is no latest release available all requests will respond with 500 internal server error.

HTTPS

The service listens only on HTTP, not HTTPS. For production use it should be placed behind an SSL-terminating proxy such as Traefik, Nginx or HAProxy.

Contributing/further work

This performs the job I wrote it to do, so it’s unlikely I’ll be developing any further features. If you’re using this and would like to send a pull request for a feature I’d be happy to review and merge.

In particular I’d welcome the following:

  • HTTPS support (specifying certs/keys/etc)
  • Support for GitHub’s secret digests, instead of using a secret URL
  • Parsing of the WebHook content to avoid refreshing needlessly
