jelease - A newreleases.io ➡️ Jira connector

Automatically create Jira tickets when a newreleases.io release is detected using webhooks.

Configuration

Jelease is configured via YAML files. See jelease.yaml for the default values.

Configuration files

Jelease looks for config files in multiple locations, where the latter overrides config fields from the former.

On Linux:

1. Default values (see jelease.yaml)
2. /etc/jelease/jelease.yaml
3. ~/.config/jelease.yaml
4. ~/.jelease.yaml
5. jelease.yaml (in current directory)

On Windows:

1. Default values (see jelease.yaml)
2. %APPDATA%/jelease.yaml
3. %USERPROFILE%/.jelease.yaml
4. jelease.yaml (in current directory)

On Mac:

1. Default values (see jelease.yaml)
2. /etc/jelease/jelease.yaml
3. ~/Library/Application Support/jelease.yaml
4. ~/.jelease.yaml
5. jelease.yaml (in current directory)

JSON Schema

There's also a JSON Schema for the config file, which gives you warnings and completion support inside your IDE.

Make use of it via e.g:

• YAML extension for VS Code.

• coc-yaml plugin for coc.nvim, an extension framework for both Vim and NeoVim.

To make use of it, add the following comment to the beginning of your config file:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://github.com/RiskIdent/jelease/raw/main/jelease.schema.json

Local usage

1. Create a GitHub PAT (e.g on https://github.com/settings/tokens)

2. Create a local config file, e.g at ~/.config/jelease.yaml

3. Add your local config to test with, including your newly generated PAT. E.g:

   # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://github.com/RiskIdent/jelease/raw/main/jelease.schema.json
   
   packages:
     - name: neuvector
       repos:
         - url: https://github.example.com/some-org/some-repo
           patches:
             - file: helm/charts/ri-neuvector/Chart.yaml
               regex:
                 match: '^appVersion: .*'
                 replace: 'appVersion: {{ .Version }}'
             - file: helm/charts/ri-neuvector/Chart.yaml
               regex:
                 match: '^version: (.*)'
                 replace: 'version: {{ index .Groups 1 | versionBump "0.0.1" }}'
   
   github:
     url: https://github.example.com
   
     auth:
       type: pat
       token: ghp_loremipsum
   

4. Test that your local config is read correctly:

   go run . config
   

5. Run Jelease locally, e.g:

   # To test applying changes
   go run . apply neuvector v1.2.3 --dryrun
   
   # To test creating PRs
   go run . apply neuvector v1.2.3
   
   # To test the webhook receiver server, without creating issues or PRs
   go run . serve --dryrun
   
   # To test the webhook receiver server, with creating issues and PRs
   go run . serve
   

6. To test out the webhooks, you can make use of our example webhook like so:

   curl localhost:8080/webhook -d @examples/newreleasesio-webhook.json
   

Building the application and docker image

VERSION=v0.4.1

podman build -t ghcr.io/riskident/jelease:${VERSION} --build-arg VERSION=${VERSION}
podman tag ghcr.io/riskident/jelease:{${VERSION},latest}

podman login ghcr.io
podman push ghcr.io/riskident/jelease:${VERSION}
podman push ghcr.io/riskident/jelease:latest

Releasing

1. Create a new release on GitHub, with "v" prefix on version: https://github.com/RiskIdent/jelease/releases/new

2. Write a small changelog, like so:

   ## Changes (since v0.3.0)
   
   - Added some feature. (#123)
   

3. Our GitHub Action with goreleaser will build and add artifacts to release
