Harnessing the power of webhooks can significantly streamline your workflow, automating processes and fostering seamless integration between your Git repository and Komodo. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the intricacies of configuring webhooks within the Komodo ecosystem, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup.
HOST : This represents the endpoint where Komodo receives incoming webhooks. If Komodo resides within a private network, you'll need a publicly accessible proxy server to forward requests to the /listener endpoint. This proxy acts as a bridge, forwarding communication between the external Git provider and your internal Komodo instance. Appropriate configuration of the proxy is crucial for successful webhook operation.AUTH_TYPE : This specifies the authentication method used to verify the authenticity of incoming webhook requests. Komodo supports two primary options: github and gitlab.github : This option leverages the X-Hub-Signature-256 header for authentication, employing a shared secret for secure verification. The secret is configured within Komodo's core settings. The correct configuration of this secret is critical for security and preventing unauthorized access.gitlab : This utilizes the X-Gitlab-Token header, also relying on a shared secret defined in Komodo's core configuration. Similar to the GitHub method, maintaining the confidentiality of this secret is paramount. Improper configuration could compromise the security of your Komodo instance.
RESOURCE_TYPE : This parameter identifies the Komodo resource associated with the webhook. Valid options include build, repo, stack, sync, procedure, and action. Choosing the correct resource type ensures the webhook triggers the intended action within Komodo. A mismatch can lead to unexpected behavior or failure.ID_OR_NAME : This field specifies the unique identifier or name of the Komodo resource. Using the resource ID is generally recommended, as resource names might change over time. Consistency is critical for maintaining reliable webhook functionality.EXECUTION : This component determines the specific action to trigger within the chosen resource. Available options vary depending on the RESOURCE_TYPE. For instance, build resources support only the /build action, while repo resources offer /pull, /clone, and /build. Similarly, stack resources support /deploy and /refresh, and resource syncs offer /sync and /refresh. For procedures and actions, __ANY__ triggers on pushes to any branch, offering maximum flexibility. Incorrect specification will result in no action.
Payload URL : This is the Komodo webhook URL you copied earlier. This field is crucial for directing communication to the Komodo instance. Ensure it's accurately entered to avoid connection errors.Content-type : Select application/json. This ensures Komodo receives the data in a compatible format. Using an incorrect format could lead to processing errors.Secret : Enter the webhook secret you configured in Komodo's core settings (KOMODO_WEBHOOK_SECRET). This secret ensures secure authentication, preventing unauthorized triggering of webhooks. Improper configuration exposes your system to potential security breaches.SSL Verification : Enable SSL verification if your Git provider supports it. This is highly recommended to ensure secure communication and protect against man-in-the-middle attacks. Disabling SSL verification weakens security.Triggering Events : Select the "push" event. This ensures the webhook is triggered only when code is pushed to the repository. Other events can be added, but the push event covers the most common use cases. Consider additional events only if absolutely necessary.
