Relase notes parser

This tool was created to cover my personal pain points

1. Plugin dependency management

its hard to track plugin dependencies. you install one plugin and it requires 2nd plugin and 2nd plugin requires 5 more and so on each plugin has required version of each dep. during upgrade of 1 plugin you can miss to upgrade dependent plugin

1. Release notes

each time when i upgrade 1 plugin jenkins i might have to upgrade all deps of this plugin to satisfied versions and sometimes those versions have braking changes or just important features and i have to manually go and scroll 50 repos release notes in github

I DON'T WANT TO SCROLL 50+ PROJECTS/ 10+ RELEASE NOTES in each project. WANT EVERYTHING ON ONE PAGE :)

Instructions

Plugin Manager - main page. you can add plugins which you have to it

supports add one plugin or list of plugins

Plugin Dependencies - get all plugins dependencies for plugin manager list, will update plugin if needed and will show release notes for it

Updated Plugins - plugins from "Plugin Dependencies" tab, but you can edit it for use caseses like

• you want to check release notes between plugin version A and B, so you will add version A to Plugin Manager and version B to Updated Plugins

as result you will see diff in Updated Plugins

Get Txt file - option button will give you file with list of plugin manager plugins/updated plugins

Log levels

set via RN_DEBUG environment variable. Can be

• panic
• fatal
• error
• warn or warning
• info
• debug
• trace

Deploy

TODO: should be docker-compose or k8s. currently only local deployment see Local development

Github personal token

by default github has limit to 60 request per hour

you can increase this limit with personal token

1. go to page https://github.com/settings/tokens (you should be autorized)

2. generate personal classic token with permission:

public_repo

1. set env var GITHUB_PERSONAL_TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN> or .env file

will take env var and if not set .env file else will use public api without token (60 requests per hour)

Local development

docker-compose

1. build images

make build-images

1. execute:

docker-compose up

ps. if you using linux you can go to docker-compose.yml file and uncomment build sections for "controller" and "web" comment "image" sections

and do

docker-compose up

without images prebuild commands

i use windows and it has issues with "build" section in docker-compose which buils images too long.

main services without docker-compose

run compose

docker-compose -f docker-compose-limited.yml up

1st terminal

cd frontend && npm install && npm start

2nd terminal

go run .
