Simple Hooks example?

[Shafik23]

Love this repo, thanks again for putting it together!

Can you provide the simplest example possible of a Hook configured directly in the PocketBase admin UI?

Glad you find it useful.

Here's a screenshot:

See the annotations in the screenshot.

Also, see the source code of the script backend/example-hook-script.sh. It will receive the JSON of the record that changed.

Let me know if you need more guidance.

Thanks @jkdoshi !
However on docker, I get error exit status 127.
And when executed manually within the container:

~ # ./example-hook-script.sh
env: can't execute 'bash': No such file or directory
~ # sh ./example-hook-script.sh
PARAMS=
./example-hook-script.sh: line 12: jq: not found

After commenting the last line of the script, it works locally, but when executed through the hook I get:
command start failed: /bin/sh /app/pb/example-hook-script.sh fork/exec /bin/sh /app/pb/example-hook-script.sh: no such file or directory

It does work for me in a container. But there is a difference. I'm not using sh /app/pb/example-hook-script.sh as my action.

My action is just /app/pb/example-hook-script.sh. BUT the first line of /app/pb/example-hook-script.sh is this ...

#!/usr/bin/env bash
...

So the above script requires bash to be preinstalled. In case you don't have it installed, you can either install it or replace it with sh

And I also have execute permission set on the file.

Use chmod +x /app/pb/example-hook-script.sh in case yours does't.

thank you @jkdoshi !
Yes, #!/usr/bin/env sh does the trick!
How would you install bash since we don't have apt installed in the container?

EDIT: apk add jq to install jq, same for bash
