Installation

Clone the repository and build the project:

git clone https://github.com/pkoscik/pipeponder.git

Configuration

Create a .env file in the root directory with your GitLab credentials and server address:

GITLAB_USERNAME=your_username
GITLAB_PASSWORD=your_password
GITLAB_ADDRESS=https://gitlab.example.com

Modify the config.toml file to define which repositories or pipeline IDs to watch and set the refresh interval:

refresh_duration = 30  # json refresh interval in seconds

[[watch]]
repo = "group/repo"   # "repositories/repository1"
ref_field = "main"    # branch name
source = "push"       # one of: push, trigger, schedule

[[watch]]
id = 123456
