What is different here?

No real logic changes or anything was made. Just versioning changing and trying to reduce the surface area for security issues.

1. Updated the Docker image for node to 19.5. We need to get this to lts but as long as it is above 16 that is better.
2. Remove isomorphic-fetch. The default fetch seems fine to use and this is just another thing we'd need to keep an eye on.
3. Update all packages as much as possible without needing to make any large changes.
4. Removed the .github settings. Since we will not be using those I took them out.

Strapi Webhook GitHub Actions Proxy

A super simple & lightweight Node.js proxy to send repository_dispatch events to GitHub from a Strapi Webhook.

Useful when you want to run a GitHub Actions workflow when changes are made in Strapi.

Usage

1 - Ensure your GitHub Actions workflow file handles the "repository_dispatch" event with your custom type:

name: Deploy
on:
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [strapi_updated]

2 - Create a GitHub Personal access token with repo scope

3 - Deploy the service to your server, for example:

4 - Create a new Webhook in Strapi that points to the service with the following query params:

• event_type: Any string. This value must match the repository_dispatch type specified in your GitHub Actions workflow file.
• repo: GitHub username/repo

For example:

http://actions-proxy:5000/api?event_type=strapi_updated&repo=username/awesome-website

Background

You can't point Strapi webhooks to the repository dispatch event endpoint as the webook request body is not compatible with the dispatches endpoint, thus a proxy is required.
