Release Relay

Relay release announcements of projects from https://release-monitoring.org/

Built on:

• Anitya: https://release-monitoring.org/static/docs/index.html
• Fedora Messaging: https://fedora-messaging.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
• MS Teams Webhooks: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/add-incoming-webhook

This is a small service, which listens to the Fedora Messaging bus for new release announcements of projects from release-monitoring.org. If a new release is announced, it will be relayed to a MS Teams channel. A list of projects to listen to can be configured to only get the announcements for the projects, which are interesting for you.

Usage

Configuration

The configuration is done via environment variables:

• FEDORA_MESSAGING_CONF: Path to the Fedora Messaging configuration file
• TEAMS_WEBHOOK : The URL of the MS Teams webhook (secret)
• PROJECTS : path to a toml file with an array of the projects, which should be monitored:

projects = [
  "avahi",
  # Simple string of project name, if the project name is unambigous
  "bash",
  "bzip2",
  # Array of project name and homepage, if the name is ambigous
  ["openssl", "https://www.openssl.org"],
  "sudo",
]

DataGrepper can be used to get the name/homepage for your projects.

Build

Even though there is a PyPI package for non fedora repos, it did through some random errors, so I use the fedora docker image. And run the service as a container.

docker image build release-relay .

Run

Configure your environment variable with the MS Teams webhook. You can either run a simple Docker command, use docker-compose or Portainer.

docker run --rm --name release-relay \
  -e TEAMS_WEBHOOK=https://outlook.office.com/webhook/... \
  release-relay
# or using the image from DockerHub
docker run --rm --name release-relay \
  -e TEAMS_WEBHOOK=https://outlook.office.com/webhook/... \
  efrgmbh/release-relay

Internals

Anitya Messages

The received messages in the python consumer are from the class fedora_messaging.message.Message. And the actual message is a dict in the class fedora_messaging.message.Message.body. There the project field is available on the top and both embedded into the message field.

Here a shortend example:
