alghanmi / OctoHookNet

An experiment in Ruby and Sinatra

#OctoHookNet This is a service acts as a net for all GitHub Webhooks within a GitHub organization. This a companion service that works along with the GitHub Course Manager (aka alghanmi-bot) I developed as a TA at the University of Southern California.

This application is written as an excercise to get started with ruby and Sinatra and is a work in progress. Use the isse tracker for questions, comments or suggestions.

###Goals

1. Record repo events based on the hooks received from GitHub. This will help in: + Establishing the actual time-stamp code was pushed to the server, e.g. homework submissions + Tracking user interaction, e.g. issues with a lot of interaction or with specific labels + Flagging specific events for admin follow-up, e.g. someone using a git push --force

2. Triggering events when receiving specific hooks

##Getting Started Assuming you are starting with a basic Debian stable setup, here are instructions on how to install the required components. Note that this assumes this basic VPS setup.

####Dependencies Here are some development packages needed for the installation of ruby

sudo aptitude install build-essential libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libreadline-dev

####Ruby We will install ruby using rbenv. So start by configuring rbenv

#Clone the rbenv version
git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv

#Update $PATH to include ruby
echo '' >> ~/.bashrc
echo '#ruby Setup' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'PATH=$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

#Enable shims and auto-complete
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc

#Install plugin: ruby-build
git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build

#Install plugin: gem-rehash
git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv-gem-rehash.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/rbenv-gem-rehash

#Reload bashrc
source .bashrc

Now, pick the version of ruby you want to install and install it

#List all available ruby versions
rbenv install -l

#Install v2.1.2 (while keeping the source)
rbenv install 2.1.2 -k

#Set the version of ruby you want to use
rbenv global 2.1.2

####Sinatra Lets install Sinatra along with some useful gems:

gem install thin
gem install sinatra
gem install haml

####Unicorn Unicorn is an application server for Rack applications. This will be used for application deployment

gem install unicorn
