Currently used in the FreeBSD Discord server to relay incoming GitHub web-hook events to a desired channel, displaying information such as repository, commit title and committer name in a nicely formatted embedded message, allowing anyone to quickly view recent changes in a centralized channel.
Among other user accessible commands, brings varying aspects of the FreeBSD Project to Discord.
Broader reach to Bugzilla and possibly Phabricator events, or any additional services that serves us of useful information.
go and bmake must be installed to build the
project. Optionally, golangci-lint for linting.
An assumption is made that pulsar is built and ran
primarily on a FreeBSD host, so the provided RC
service script will not run properly (or at all) on
a different type of system (e.g., GNU/Linux), as
such, no guarantee is made for anything other than
FreeBSD. However, you are able to as least run the
application alongside a configuration file. If for
any reason you are using a non-default local prefix
where applications, configurations and friends get
installed, amend the PREFIX variable whilst building,
so for example: make PREFIX=/opt build.
To get started, ensure a valid configuration file exists in the root of the project. Example can be found here.
# make installThis will both build and install the resulting Go binary, as well as the configuration file. An RC service script comes included so that pulsar can be daemonized. To enable the service, run:
# sysrc pulsar_enable=YES
# service pulsar startIf you want to use a custom configuration file separate
of the global one (residing under /usr/local/etc/pulsar)
then pass the -c flag, followed with a desired absolute path.
Alternatively, specify the configuration that the RC service uses:
# sysrc pulsar_config=/path/to/config.json
