trigger-rebuild-with-webhook

Overview

The webhook enables you to send an HTTP POST request to trigger the build process. To enable the webhook, set the REBUILD_WEBHOOK_SECRET to long random string.

How It Works

• The webhook server runs node.js express app only if the environment variable REBUILD_WEBHOOK_SECRET is set.
• You can send a POST request to:

  http://example.com/rebuild/<secret>
  

  replacing <secret> with the value of REBUILD_WEBHOOK_SECRET.
• If the secret matches, the build script is executed.
• If the secret is incorrect or missing, the request is rejected with 403.

Making a Webhook Request

Use the following curl command to trigger a rebuild:

curl -X POST http://example.com/rebuild/mysecret

For a local test setup:

curl -X POST http://<ip>:<port>/rebuild/mysecret

Updating Nginx Configuration

The Nginx configuration to forward webhook requests to the Node.js webhook server:

        location /rebuild {
            if ($request_method = POST) {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
                break;
            }
 
            # For GET requests, serve static files
            try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/ =404;
        }
