Get notified on Mastodon for new Github releases
Get notified on Mastodon for new Github releases
This repository contains code to scan for new releases of configurable github repositories and publish new releases to different Mastodon accounts.
I'm selfhosting several services, mostly based on docker containers. Many of these are managed on Github and publish releases there. What annoys me is that I regularly miss updates.
I'm also quite active on Mastodon so I thought it would be handy to have a bot automatically scanning for new github releases and posting a new toot for every new release.
The bot can be configured to scan multiple different github repositories and publish to different mastodon accounts.
I have set up accounts for:
https://mastodon.social/@navidrome_releases
https://mastodon.social/@vaultwarden_releases
https://mastodon.social/@dockerpihole_releases
https://mastodon.social/@tempo_releases
https://mastodon.social/@unifidocker_releases
You can use the notification feature of Mastodon to get a notification, whenever a new post is published. Just follow an account and hit the little bell icon on its profile page.
Here's the code, if someone is interested in that:

Is this something that you people find useful? Which other services would you like to see covered in that way?
You're viewing a single thread.
Is there any way to get those notifictions over selfhosted gotify?
You can get the rss of new releases with rss, and use rss plugin for Gotify

May I ask for some help please. I dont know how to use this command:
$ make GOTIFY_VERSION="v2.0.5" FILE_SUFFIX="for-gotify-v2.0.5" buildWhere should I type that? How can I build that plugin?
make GOTIFY_VERSION="v2.0.5" FILE_SUFFIX="for-gotify-v2.0.5" build
Use the gotify version according to the one installed on your system.
EX:make GOTIFY_VERSION="v2.4.0" FILE_SUFFIX="for-gotify-v2.4.0" build
for the latest releasethe on
build/you should have some.sofiles, copy the one for your machine arch to gotify plugins dirdata/pluginswhere a build for gotify v2.4.0 https://nowtransfer.de/3460c8e86670
copy only the one neededCopying your file to data/plugins worked! Now just have to wait for next feed to test it out. Thank you again <3
Still don't know how to use command tho :D Sorry, I'm noob. Was trying to enter that command in terminal, but I get:
make: *** No rule to make target 'build'. Stop.Assuming you are on a Debian/Ubuntu based distro, make sure you have the following packages installed
build-essentialgolangHowever Gotify recomends using docker to build plugins
https://gotify.net/docs/plugin-deploy#with-docker-recommendedThank you! I use Debian 11, installed make, build-essential and golang, and still receiving the same message (feels like I should learn how to use these packages first).
Using your file was working, but unfortunately gotify container just stops after some time. I was reading the docs and I must admit I don't understand a tiny bit :D. Spinning gotify server in docker container was super easy tho. I'd like to get this working, but feels bad for taking your time mate, and I even stole the thread (Sorry OP) lol.
