Post Web Service is used to manage website publication automatically using GitHub actions and a Raspberry Pi.
It listens to GET requests on:
/add?repo="repo_name" that adds a new repository to the list of published websites
/del?repo="repo_name" that deletes a repository
/update?repo="repo_name" that updates a repository
Every repo added must contain a file named .run.json with 2 properties:
"setup" is a command that will be ran before trying to publish the server to the internet, usually used to download dependecies
"run" is the command to run the server
Example of a .run.json file:
{
"setup": "npm i",
"run": "node src/index.js"
}The program will set an environment variable (PORT) for the port on which the service must run to be accessible.
Integrated with github action or gitlab CI/CD it is trivial to automate a publish on push with a simple get request to this API
Add credentials to the get request so it can only be accessed by the owner
