gitea-matrix-bot

A bot to listen for gitea webhooks and post to a matrix channel

Usage

Configuration

Copy config.ini.example to config.ini or creat a file called config.ini with the following options:

[http]
# The path the listener will expect the post data
http_uri = "/post"

# The port the listener will listen on
http_port = "9000"

[matrix]
# The matrix server to connect to
matrix_host = "http://matrix.org"

# The matrix room to post to
matrix_room = "#my-awesome-room:matrix.org"

# User credentions of the bot for posting to the room
matrix_pass = "supersecretpass"
matrix_user = "my-awesome-bot"

Then start the bot. It will listen on the configured URI for incoming gitea hooks.

Create gitea hook

Create a new webhook in gitea. You an add a webhook to a single repository or add a default webhook that will apply to all you repos (recommended)

• Choose the Webhook type Gitea for you Webhook
• Configure which events you want to send. You can also select All Events
• Set the Target URL to your host + the value you configured in the config.ini file. (e.g. http://myserver:9000/post)
• Make sure that port is reachable/forwarded if you are behind a router and check your firewall
• Set POST Content Type to applicatino/json
• Add a secret (passphrase, password)

It will probably look like this:
