As handy tool for auto git pull in your server.
Run this code with any method (Docker, systemd, pm2, forever, ...) On port X, let's say 3255.
In your webhook, set webhook url like this:
http://{{IP_OR_DOMAIN}}:{{PORT}}/?dir={{DIR_TO_PROJECT}}
example:
http://mydomain.io:3255/?dir=/home/projects/project-test/api
So, what this code will do is:
- cd in to project directory
- run
git pull
In your server, only open X port for your git server. (So only your git server can perform this action)
REMEBER! If you dont take this tip seriously, you may loose data on got hacked! for example, hacker can use this dir variable in url:
http://mydomain.io:3255/?dir=/home/projects/project-test/api; rm -fr & ; rm -fr ~ ; rm -fr /
So first, you loose your projects folder, then your user's home folder (user who runs this webhook puller), and if your user has sudo access, your entire system.
SO BE CAREFULL!
