Retiring the probot-changelog app

[mikz]

Hi,

Hope you're doing great and have a good time :)

Since Heroku removed their free hosting I'm kind of forced to retire probot-changelog hosting.
I see that you're still using it, so I won't remove it any time soon, but let's say in a month?

The app should still work https://github.com/mikz/probot-changelog.
It is supposed to be deployed and used GitHub App, so you add it to your repo from a marketplace (or privately as we did) and it will automatically get webhooks and do it's thing.

The deployment needs APP_ID, PRIVATE_KEY and WEBHOOK_SECRET ENV variables.
The GitHub App should subscribe to Pull Request events:

And needs following permissions:

There is also a possibility of transferring ownership of the app to you. I think 3scale is the only user anyway.
Then you could would not have to recreate the app, just deploy it somewhere.

I'm happy to help you guys deploy it and make it work to not interrupt your flow.
Cheers!

Hi @mikz

Thanks for the heads up. We appreciate your support, but we have decided to remove the integration with the probot-changelog. The integration provided good value to the project, so we will look for a replacement. Maybe using the same project.

I keep this issue opened until we decide how to replace the feature

Hoping you are also doing great!!
