# Usage
|
|
|
|
Getting started in _upda_ is easy after it has been [deployed](./Deployment.md) successfully and is reachable through your
|
|
browser.
|
|
|
|
![img](./img/updates.png)
|
|
|
|
## Login
|
|
|
|
Head over to the deployed _upda_ instance in your browser and login with your credentials.
|
|
|
|
![img](./img/login.png)
|
|
|
|
## Getting updates in via Webhooks
|
|
|
|
To get your first updates into _upda_, create a new Webhook. Webhooks are the central piece of how _upda_ gets notified
|
|
about updates.
|
|
|
|
![img](./img/webhooks.png)
|
|
|
|
After you've created a new Webhook, you should see
|
|
|
|
* a unique _upda_ `URL` which serves as entrypoint of other 3rd party applications,
|
|
e.g., `/api/v1/webhooks/<a unique identifier>` and
|
|
* a corresponding `token` (write it down somewhere, you won't see it again after initial creation) for the URL which
|
|
must be sent as `X-Webhook-Token` header when calling _upda_'s URL.
|
|
|
|
Next step is to make your 3rd party application use this webhook and bring in new updates into _upda_.
|
|
|
|
A good example is [duin](https://crazymax.dev/diun/), which is able to watch docker images for changes and updates. It
|
|
can be configured with a config file
|
|
and [diun's "notif" plugin supports calling external webhooks once a change is observed](https://crazymax.dev/diun/notif/webhook/).
|
|
We just need to configure _upda_ as the receiving application in diun's configuration file.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
notif:
|
|
webhook:
|
|
endpoint: https://upda.domain.tld/api/v1/webhooks/ee03cd9e-04d0-4c7f-9866-efe219c2501e
|
|
method: POST
|
|
headers:
|
|
content-type: application/json
|
|
X-Webhook-Token: <the token from webhook creation in upda>
|
|
timeout: 10s
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Expected payload is derived from the _type_ of the webhook which has been created in _upda_.
|
|
|
|
In addition, a webhook in _upda_ can be set to ignore the host. Please read more on that in the [Concepts](./Concepts.md)
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
## Actions
|
|
|
|
Actions can be used to invoke arbitrary third party tools when an _event_ occurs, e.g., an update has been created or
|
|
modified. An action is triggered when its conditions are met, which means that the action's definition (event name,
|
|
host, application, provider) fits the change which happend in _upda_.
|
|
|
|
Actions have types. Different types require different payload to set them up. [shoutrrr](#shoutrrr) is supported as
|
|
action type, which can send notifications to a variety of services like Gotify, Ntfy, Teams, OpsGenie and many more.
|
|
It in turn also support invoking calls to an external URL. This means you can have a stream of events being triggered
|
|
when an update arrives in _upda_.
|
|
|
|
To create an Action, go to the Actions tab and click on _Create new action_. Enter the necessary information and
|
|
consult the Action's type documentation if necessary.
|
|
|
|
![img](./img/actions.png)
|
|
|
|
Supported events for Actions are the following:
|
|
|
|
| Event name | Description |
|
|
|:-------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `update_created` | An update has been created |
|
|
| `update_updated` | An update has been updated (not necessarily its version attribute!) |
|
|
| `update_updated_state` | An update's state changed |
|
|
| `update_updated_version` | An update's version changed |
|
|
| `update_deleted` | An update has been removed |
|
|
|
|
For privacy, an action's configuration supports upda's **secrets** vault, which means that before an action is
|
|
triggered, any occurrence of `<SECRET>SECRET_KEY</SECRET>` is properly replaced by the value of the `SECRET_KEY` defined
|
|
inside the vault.
|
|
|
|
Secrets can be used in all payload for an Action, including shoutrrr's URL. To create a new secret, go to the _Secrets_
|
|
tab and click on _Create new secret_.
|
|
|
|
![img](./img/secrets.png)
|
|
|
|
In addition to secrets, upda provides **variables** which can be used with the `<VAR>VARIABLE_NAME</VAR>` syntax and any
|
|
occurrence is replaced before invocation as well.
|
|
|
|
| Variable name | Description |
|
|
|:-------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `<VAR>APPLICATION</VAR>` | The update's application name invoking the action |
|
|
| `<VAR>PROVIDER</VAR>` | The update's provider name invoking the action |
|
|
| `<VAR>HOST</VAR>` | The update's host invoking the action |
|
|
| `<VAR>VERSION</VAR>` | The update's version (latest) invoking the action |
|
|
| `<VAR>STATE</VAR>` | The update's state invoking the action |
|
|
|
|
#### shoutrrr
|
|
|
|
[shoutrrr](https://github.com/containrrr/shoutrrr?tab=readme-ov-file#documentation) supports multiple services directly
|
|
which can be provided as simple URL, e.g., `gotify://gotify.example.com:443/<token>`, where `<token>`
|
|
can also be provided as secret: `gotify://gotify.example.com:443/<SECRET>GOTIFY_TOKEN</SECRET>`.
|
|
|
|
##### shoutrrr: example for sending mails
|
|
|
|
Before starting, add the following _Secrets_:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
MAIL_USER
|
|
MAIL_PASS
|
|
MAIL_HOST
|
|
MAIL_PORT
|
|
MAIL_FROM
|
|
MAIL_TO
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For each event, now create a new _Action_ with different payload:
|
|
|
|
_New updates_
|
|
|
|
| Field | Content |
|
|
|:------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| URL 1 | `smtp://<SECRET>MAIL_USER</SECRET>:<SECRET>MAIL_PASS</SECRET>@<SECRET>MAIL_HOST</SECRET>:<SECRET>MAIL_PORT</SECRET>/?from=<SECRET>MAIL_FROM</SECRET>&to=<SECRET>MAIL_TO</SECRET>&Subject=[upda]+New+Update` |
|
|
| Body | `New update '<VAR>APPLICATION</VAR>' (<VAR>VERSION</VAR>) arrived on <VAR>HOST</VAR> for provider <VAR>PROVIDER</VAR>.` |
|
|
|
|
_Update changed_

|
|
| Body | `Update '<VAR>APPLICATION</VAR>' (<VAR>VERSION</VAR>) changed on <VAR>HOST</VAR> for provider <VAR>PROVIDER</VAR>.` |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
| Body | `Update's version changed to '<VAR>VERSION</VAR>' for '<VAR>APPLICATION</VAR>' on <VAR>HOST</VAR> and provider <VAR>PROVIDER</VAR>.` |
|
|
|
|
_State changed_
|
|
|
|
| Field | Content |
|
|
|:------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|

|
|
| Body | `Update's state changed to '<VAR>STATE</VAR>' for '<VAR>APPLICATION</VAR>' (<VAR>VERSION</VAR>) on <VAR>HOST</VAR> and provider <VAR>PROVIDER</VAR>.` |
|
|
|
|
In addition, you can have multiple URL fields, e.g., for sending a mail and a push notification.
|
|
|
|
### History of actions
|
|
|
|
Whenever new updates come in, are changed or an update's state changes, _upda_ enqueues all matching Actions.
|
|
|
|
If you head over to the Action History tab, you see pending, currently running, successful or error invocations of
|
|
actions.
|
|
|
|
![img](./img/actions_history.png)
|
|
|
|
## Manage updates
|
|
|
|
Once Update are in _upda_, you can filter them by state, application or other properties to only see pending Updates for
|
|
example.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, you can change their state to be ignored (see [Concepts](./Concepts.md)) or delete them.
|
|
|
|
![img](./img/updates.png)
|
|
|
|
In addition, you can view an Update's details by clicking on the small info icon for an Update.
