autoweb

autoweb is a lightweight Go-based container that serves static HTML content from a Git repository and automatically updates the content when a webhook triggers a git pull. This container is designed to be deployed in Kubernetes or other container environments where you want to host static websites and sync them with the latest updates from a remote Git repository.

Features

• Serves static HTML from the public/ directory of a cloned repository.
• Automatically pulls updates from the Git repository when triggered by a webhook.
• Minimal footprint with Go-based implementation for both Git operations and serving static content.
• Easy to integrate with Continuous Deployment setups using webhooks.

Environment Variables

REPO_URL: The URL of the Git repository to clone. This repository should have the public/ directory containing the pre-generated static content.

How it Works

1. Clone the Repo: On startup, the container clones the Git repository defined by the REPO_URL environment variable if it hasn't already.
2. Serve Static Content: The container serves the static content found in the public/ directory.
3. Webhook Integration: The container listens for POST requests on /webhook. When a request is received, the container pulls the latest changes from the Git repository and updates the static content being served.
