# Webhookey
Webhookey basically is a webserver listening for requests as for
example sent as gitea's webhooks. Further, Webhookey allows you to
specifiy rules which are matched against the data received to trigger
certain actions.
## Build
### Install Rust
The Rust toolchain needs to be installed:
``` sh
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
```
Further, for Rocket we need to have the nightly toolchain installed:
``` sh
rustup toolchain install nightly
```
### Build Webhookey
The webhookey project can be built for development:
``` sh
cargo b
```
or for releasing:
``` sh
cargo b --release
```
### Install Webhookey
When a Rust toolchain installed you can also install Webhookey
directly without cloning it manualy:
``` sh
cargo install --git https://git.onders.org/finga/webhookey.git webhookey
```
or from within the project:
``` sh
cargo install webhookey
```
### Run Webhookey
Webhookey can either be run from the project directory with:
``` sh
cargo b
```
or you can copy the produced binary somewhere else from
`webhookey/target/{debug, release}/webhookey` depending on which one
you built.
## Configuration
Configuration syntax is YAML and has to be done in following order:
Right now there is only the configuration parameter for hooks, here
each hook has to be configured, It contains following fields:
- action: optional string for the action to be executed when all
filters match
- secrets: list of secrets
- filters: list of filters
Each filter has to have following fields:
- pointer: pointer to the JSON field according to [RFC
6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)
- regex: regular expression which has to match the field pointed to by
the pointer
### Configuration paths
Following locations are checked for a configuration file:
- `/etc/webhookey/config.yml`
- `<config_dir>/webhookey/config.yml`
- `./config.yml`
Whereas `<config_dir>` depends on the platform:
- Linux: `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` or `$HOME/.config`
- macOS: `$HOME/Library/Application Support`
- Windows: `{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}`
# TODOs
## Systemd service file
## Use `lazy_static` or `once_cell` for compiled regexes
## Use `clap` to parse command line arguments
## Implement the functionality to reply to certain webhooks
## Security
### https support
### Authentication features
### Secure cookies?
## Parameterize fields
