This repository contains code to scan for new releases of configurable github repositories and publish new releases to different Mastodon accounts.

I’m selfhosting several services, mostly based on docker containers. Many of these are managed on Github and publish releases there. What annoys me is that I regularly miss updates.

I’m also quite active on Mastodon so I thought it would be handy to have a bot automatically scanning for new github releases and posting a new toot for every new release.

The bot can be configured to scan multiple different github repositories and publish to different mastodon accounts.

I have set up accounts for:

https://mastodon.social/@navidrome_releases https://mastodon.social/@vaultwarden_releases https://mastodon.social/@dockerpihole_releases https://mastodon.social/@tempo_releases https://mastodon.social/@unifidocker_releases

Here’s the code, if someone is interested in that:

Is this something that people find useful? Which other services would you like to see covered in that way?

    Copying your file to data/plugins worked! Now just have to wait for next feed to test it out. Thank you again <3

    Still don’t know how to use command tho :D Sorry, I’m noob. Was trying to enter that command in terminal, but I get:

    make: *** No rule to make target 'build'.  Stop.
