Pagoo

(Note: name to be subjet to change because this one might be too silly)

A single-executable to listen to HTTP calls and execute shell scripts based on the request content.

Prerequisites:

  • Rust
  • Make (for code coverage)

To list project's commands, run make or make help.

Note: If you do not use Make, the build will be different than when using it, because the Makefile sets environment vars to send to rustc to ease code coverage for testing. You can still use Cargo when you want to build for release.

Installation

  • Via Docker:
    docker pull pierstoval/pagoo
    docker run --rm pierstoval/pagoo --help
    # Pro tip: alias it with this command:
    # alias pagoo="docker run --rm pierstoval/pagoo"
  • Via Cargo:
    git clone https://github.com/Orbitale/pagoo pagoo-src
    cargo build --manifest-path=./pagoo-src/Cargo.toml --release
    cp ./pagoo-src/target/release/pagoo pagoo
    rm -rf ./pagoo-src/
    ./pagoo --help
    # Pro tip: make it global by adding it to a PATH-accessible directory:
    # sudo cp ./pagoo /usr/local/bin/pagoo

Configuration

Run pagoo init to create a default configuration file .pagoo.json in the current directory.

The goal of the configuration file is to determine the list of webhooks that will be listened to by Pagoo, and you can configure each webhook with matchers.

Once an HTTP request is posted to the webhook, if a matcher corresponds to the request, it will execute the command specified in actions-to-execute webhook option.

Here is a sample configuration file with the options you can use:

{
    "webhooks": [// The array with the webhooks 
        {
            // A unique name for your webhook. Used for referencing and logging.
            "name": "webhook_1",

            // Can be "one" or "all".
            // Determines if one single matcher is enough to trigger the webhook,
            // or if all matchers have to be detected to trigger the webhook.
            "matchers-strategy": "one",  
          
            // Each matcher can contain one or multiple of these available matchers:
            // - match-json-body: will check if the JSON payload contains the specified JSON parts.
            //   This does not check if the two json strings are equal, only if this part is present in the whole payload.
            // - match-headers: will check if specified HTTP header contains the exact value specified.
            "matchers": [
                {
                    "match-json-body": {
                        "some-json-key": "some-json-value"
                    }
                },
                {
                    "match-headers": {
                        "x-some-http-header": "some-header-value",
                    }
                }
            ],
          
            // The shell command to execute when the webhook is triggered.
            // (⚠️ Warning: more options will be added, like the shell to execute the command, current working directory, 
            //   environment variables, etc., remember this is still a work in progress 😉) 
            "actions-to-execute": ["echo", "success!"]
        }
    ]
}

Usage

To start the server, run pagoo serve:webhook. Add the --help option to see the different parameters (HTTP host, port, etc.).

To trigger the webhook, you must make a POST HTTP request to Pagoo's /webhook endpoint.

When you do so, Pagoo will compare the request with all your configured webhooks, and the first one matching the current request will trigger and execute a command. (Note: supporting multiple webhooks matching is not yet supported).

Roadmap:

Legend:

  • 🟩 = Implemented
  • 🟨 = In progress / Partially implemented
  • 🟥 = Not yet implemented, but will be
  • ❓ = Idea for the future (may be hard to implement, hence the question mark)
  • 🟩 HTTP Server
    • 🟩 Create an HTTP entrypoint for the webhook listener
    • 🟥 Secure the config update entrypoint with an authentication system
    • ❓ Create an HTTP entrypoint for the configuration update
    • ❓ Allow multiple instances to be started
  • 🟨 Configuration
    • 🟩 Create an init command to create a boilerplate of configuration file.
    • 🟩 JSON config file
    • ❓ Allow runtime updates of the configuration
    • ❓ Think about other storages than a single file
  • 🟨 Webhook matching
    • 🟩 Strategy based on list of matchers
    • 🟩 Matching by HTTP headers
    • 🟩 Matching by JSON body
    • ❓ Allow partial/strategy inside a single matcher, instead of having to rely on multiple matchers with the one strategy
    • ❓ Allow filtering JSON body with string/regex matching (pretty hard though, since the entire JSON has to be traversed, but could be neat)
  • 🟨 Executor worker
    • 🟩 Create a separate thread only to listen for actions to execute (the "queue" system)
    • 🟩 Allow executing processes in the worker thread
    • ❓ Think about concurrency when a lot of actions have to be executed at the same time
  • 🟥 Analytics
    • 🟩 Store the logs (sqlite database, json-based log file❓)
    • 🟥 Create an HTTP entrypoint to get the logs
    • 🟥 Secure the HTTP entrypoint that delivers logs
  • 🟥 App frontend
    • 🟥 Create a separate command to spawn a frontend app
    • 🟥 Create a dashboard to visualize logs
    • 🟥 Create a dashboard to visualize configuration
    • 🟥 Create a simple system to update app's configuration at runtime
    • ❓ Allow to manage multiple running instances of the webhook listener
