git-personal-builder

A base Docker image for creating build sidecars for git-personal. These sidecars allow git-personal to trigger a build every time new code is pushed. For example, I use git-personal-builder to auto-deploy my website and to auto-publish its own Docker image.

git-personal-builder runs a super simple HTTP server listening for POST /build requests from git-personal. These requests include the hash of the commit being built, any tags associated with the commit, and a tar.gz archive of the code at that commit. The server extracts the code archive into a directory and then calls a build command with the hash, directory, and tags as arguments. This build command is supplied by the image created on top of the git-personal-builder image – check out the examples linked above to see how it is used in practice.
