Hookable Deployment of Releases

Hodor is a service that deploys releases locally based on HTTP requests. It can be used from a CI/CD to automatically deploy the new version of a software.

The service has two components: a server and a deployer. The server is a simple http server that listens on two endpoints:

// POST /api/hook/:releaseID
// GET /api/status/:jobID

The first endpoint triggers a new deployment and returns a jobID. It takes as input the following:

application/json
{"browser_download_url": "<a valid URL>"}

and return the following:

application/json
{"jobID": "<Job id>"}

The second endpoint return the status of a job, given a jobID. It doesn't take any input as the job is in the URL. It return the following:

application/json
{"status":"<status>","message":"<status message>"}
