Running Rivi Locally

If you plan on running rivi on you local environment, please read though and make sure everything is set properly.

Requirements

  • Create a token with repo permissions

  • Create a webhook and make sure the following are configured:

    • Select content type as application/json

    • Optionally, set a secret (this will be used by the bot to validate webhook content)

    • Register the following events

      • Pull request
      • Pull request review
      • Pull request review comment

    • If you have started rivi with several configuration files, you can set the hook URL to access each different file by passing namespace query param with the file name (without the yaml extension) Example: http://rivi-url/?namespace=repo-x

Configuration File Structure

Config Section

Configure the Git client for repository access and webhook validation

config:
  provider: github
  token: my-very-secret-token
  secret: my-hook-secret-shhhhh
  • token (required; unless set by env) - the client OAuth token the bot will connect with (and assign issues, add comments and lables)
  • provider (optional) - which client to use for git connection - the bot tries to figure out which client to use automatically (currently only github is supported but others are on the way)
  • secret (optional) - webhook secret to be used for content validation (recommended)

Environment Variables

You can set the values for token and secret via environment variables: RIVI_CONFIG_TOKEN and RIVI_CONFIG_SECRET respectively.

It is common to configure the bot by injecting environment variables via CI server.

Executable

Rivi can be run as a bot which listens to incoming repository webhooks. This service must be internet facing to accept incoming requests (e.g. GitHub).

Usage: rivi bot [options] CONFIGURATION_FILE(S)...

	Starts rivi in bot mode and listen to incoming webhooks

Options:
	-port=8080				Listen on port
	-uri=/					URI path

Example

$ rivi bot -port 9000 repo-x.yaml repo-y.yaml

Docker

It is also possible to run Rivi as Docker container. Rivi's images are published to Docker Hub as bivas/rivi.

You should visit bivas/rivi Docker Hub page and check for published tags.

$ docker run --detach \
             --name rivi \
             --publish 8080:8080 \
             --env RIVI_CONFIG_TOKEN=<rivi oauth token> \
             --volume /path/to/config/files:/config \
             bivas/rivi rivi bot /config/repo-x.yaml
