next-discord-linear

This is unfinished. A release will be created once the first version is released

next-discord-linear is a deployable (preferably on vercel) nextjs site that can act as a linear webhook endpoint and translates these into Discord webhooks.

Installation

To start, press this button to create a Vercel deployment (which will use the defaults and can be configured later)

! Make sure you have "Create private Git Repository" checked or you risk leaking admin passwords

You will need to define the DATABASE_URL environment variable. This should be a postgres database which you can get (completely free) from Heroku by doing the following:

1. Open heroku and login
2. Once on your dashboard, press New near the top right of the page then choose create new app
3. On this page, give it any name and set the region to United States (by default, Vercel deploys serverless functions to aws lambda in the US)
4. Go to the resources tab, and in the search box in the middle of the page, type Postgres and choose "Heroku Postgres"
5. It shouldn't take long to create, click on the icon next to its name (it might take you to a page called elements, if it does close that tab and keep clicking it until it sends you to the page)
6. On first try the page may take a little bit to load, but once it does go to the settings tab, then click view credentials
7. One of the items should be called "URI". In Vercel, create a new environment variable called DATABASE_URL and paste the URI bit into it (you may need to add ?scheme=public on the end)
8. Once done, Vercel will deploy it and next-discord-linear will automatically manage the database for you from then on

Note: Heroku says "Heroku rotates credentials periodically and updates applications where this database is attached." but from experience it has never reset any of my credentials so this shouldn't happen.

Once it creates the GitHub repository, navigate to /config-example.json, rename it to config.json, and fill out the details.

Now, commit the new config, let Vercel deploy it, then log in to the deployment using your admin password. Once you do that, you will be able to create multiple Discord webhook integrations and choose which events get sent to which!
