You-Get.bot

A naïve bot that listens to GitHub webhooks, (asynchronously) tests URL downloads with you-get on a remote server, thus helps me to maintain the you-get project.

System requirements

The bot server runs on Node.js 5.9.0 and CoffeeScript 1.10.0. Older versions may or may not work.

These dependencies are required during run-time:

• you-get >= 0.4 (and python3)
• git >= 1.8.5
• bind-tools (specifically, the dig program)
• geoip
• translate-shell >= 0.9

Tested on CentOS 7 and Arch Linux.

Step-by-step

1. Register a machine user on GitHub. (and optionally: attach an SSH key to it)
2. Create an access token for the machine user.
3. Login as the administrator of soimort/you-get, and:
   1. Add the machine user as a collaborator;
   2. Create a webhook and point it to your server. On more details about how to set up a payload server, you can follow the GitHub webhooks tutorial if you want, though their example code is in Ruby.
4. Create a bot.sh on the production server:

export GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN=    # Add the bot's access token here
export WEBHOOK_SECRET_TOKEN=  # Add the repository's webhook secret token here
export GITHUB_OWNER=soimort   # Change these if you would like to use it on
export GITHUB_REPO=you-get    #   another GitHub repository
coffee server.coffee 4567     # Change this number to your port of choice

And deploy it! (using pm2)

$ pm2 start bot.sh
