snyk-schmidtty / snyk-watcher Goto Github PK

Snyk-Watcher listens for webhooks to trigger events. It watches the main branch for the following events from Github:

• Repository - Created, Deleted, Renamed
• Pull Request - All

For the pull request webhooks, Snyk-Watcher will only try to import a project if it has been merged to main.

Snyk-Watcher runs completely standalone in a Docker container. We've included a docker-compose file to make it easy to build.

1. Clone this repository.

2. Build the container:

   docker-compose build

3. Start Snyk-Watcher:

   docker-compose up

   You can verify that Snyk-Watcher is running by navigating to:

   localhost:8000/healthcheck

4. In GitHub, go to the GitHub Apps developer setting and click New GitHub App.

5. Enter the following values in the Register new GitHub App form:

   • GitHub App name: Snyk-Watcher
   • Webhook URL: {server}/github/webhook
   • Secret: {a highly random string}

6. Give Snyk-Watcher access to the following Repository permissions:

   • Repository Administration (Read-only)
   • Metadata (Read-only)
   • Pull requests (Read-only)

7. Subscribe to the following events:

   • Pull request
   • Repository

8. Provide the Snyk-Watcher container your GitHub and Snyk tokens in these two environment variables:

   • SECRET_GITHUB_SECRET
   • SECRET_SNYK_API_TOKEN

9. Test Snyk-Watcher by adding a new repository, then looking in the app’s advanced settings to see if the request was successful.

• At this time, Snyk-Watcher has been tested only with GitHub and GitHub Enterprise.
• Snyk-Watcher does not have access to your code and does not make any changes to your GitHub organization or repositories.
