A bot that posts recent activity in BookStacks to a webhook.
BookStacks currently doesn't have a public API, so this bot hooks into its database directly. It runs every minute, and posts all activity from that minute to the webhook URL. If it is offline, it will miss activity. However, this allows it to be stateless.
See config.edn.example for an example configuration:
{:webhook/url #env WWB_WEBHOOK_URL
:database/uri #env WWB_DATABASE_URI
:website/url #env WWB_WEBSITE_URL}The webhook URL is the URL to post new updates to (get it from Discord or Slack
or wherever, I only tested it with Discord.) The database URI is a JDBC database
connection to the MariaDB instance that BookStack is using. The website URL is
used to construct links to the entities that were changed. This probably only
works on page updates. The #env directive indicates that those fields should
be filled from environmental variables. A good idea, especially when building
the docker image, is to just copy the example over:
cp config.edn.example config.ednThe databas URI needs a special format
jdbc:mariadb://[host]:[port]/[database]?user=[user]&password=[password]
See the MariaDB documentation for more details.
