Automatic deployment to Restcomm - github

I'm setting up a Restcomm instance and I would like to integrate it with Jenkins, so each time we have a PR in github in a specific branch, Jenkins will deploy the RVD App to the Restcomm instance.
I have access to the RVD Workspace from Jenkins, so I guess I could have something like:
Developer create/update her RVD app in local.
She copies the APP from her workspace to a github repo and creates the PR.
Jenkins updates the remote RVD workspace copying/updating the new files / app.
I guess this would be work but I don't like to copy files from one workspace to another one because of inconsistencies and so on.
I would prefer something like:
Developer updates the APP source in github and creates a PR.
Jenkins packages the app (zip?) and invokes a Restcomm API to deploy it / update it.
Is it possible? Any documentation about that API?

We have an open issue for that (providing an API) at https://github.com/RestComm/Restcomm-Connect/issues/947. Would you be interested in contributing to move it forward faster ?

Automated deployment pipeline from GitHub to Salesforce.com

I have apex code stored in the master branch of my remote repository in GitHub and would like to deploy it directly into my Salesforce Org.
Is there a way to setup a "pipeline" in GitHub with Salesforce.com in order to facilitate a direct deployment into Salesforce?
Edited on 22nd-Oct-2022: is there a way to setup a button on GitHub that I can click on when I want to deploy changes (delta) from the master branch to a related Salesforce DEV Org?
Learn from Salesforce themselves. The https://github.com/trailheadapps/lwc-recipes (all lwc demos mentioned in documentation) contains actions to run code quality tools (prettier, lint), unit tests (apex, jest), deploy to scratch org, assign permission set, run all tests, delete the scratch org, report on code coverage...
Lots of goodies there. Might be too much if you're just after plain deploy to prod but it's good to know what toys are out there.

GitHub Pages Automation

Overview:
I'm using GitHub Pages feature to host documentation. I'm working on a CI/CD process to automate the build so that when the source for the documentation is updated it automatically rebuilds the content and deploys to GitHub Pages.
Details:
So far, using AWS CodeBuild, I've implemented the following:
Pulls down source from GitHub Repo
Uses MkDocs to build and deploy to the special gh-pages branch using the "mkdocs gh-deploy" command.
This is done with command lines in the CodeBuild Buildspec. The reason I'm using commands is that I want to use GitHub Deploy Keys opposed to creating user account (used as a machine account) that my team would need to manage.
I have it all working except what triggers the build. If the process was using a user account to authenticate then I can use AWS CodePipeline which creates a Webhook within the GitHub repo, and then notifications are sent via the Webhook to say that the master branch was updated, which would trigger a new build.
I'd like to implement a similar process but using the GitHub repo's Deploy Key. Any suggestions?

Github webhook is not created when creating a Google Cloud Build trigger

I have many projects which uses Google Cloud Build + Github build pipeline setup. However, there is this one project, which I cannot create a webhook in Github for.
It used to work - but commits to the repository doesn't trigger the build process any more. I deleted the trigger and added it again - but the webhook in Github is not created automatically for this project.
When I run the trigger manually, it picks the wrong, but fixed commit which I did before an year.
Any clue?
Could you try delete a repository on Cloud Source Repositories and setup Google Cloud Build again ?
See:
https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build/docs/running-builds/automate-builds
Note: For external repositories, such as GitHub and Bitbucket, you must have owner-level permissions for the Cloud Platform project with which you're working. When you set up a build trigger with an external repository for the first time, you'll need to set up authorization with that repository.
After you've set up your external repository, Cloud Source Repository creates a mirror of your repository.
https://source.cloud.google.com
https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/docs/deleting-a-repository
https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/docs/mirroring-a-github-repository
I am experiencing the same issue. I can create a trigger for a repo, but I cannot connect the repo automatically to cloud build. We also have many projects, and this manual labor is sort of annoying.
Is there any (under the hood) github/gcloud api available in which I can connect a github repo to cloud build? I am aware that this can only be done by someone with admin privileges on a repo or organization in github.
After this, I will be able to run the command gcloud build triggers create github [NAME]

Build an open source project from github (not mine) with a ci

There is an open source project (https://github.com/firebase/firebase-jobdispatcher-android), which I would like to get built using travis/circleci or another cloud ci. However, those CI's don't allow you to get to repos that are not yours.
I didn't try, but I have a hunch that I won't be able to get a webhook setup as well to get notified when those repos 'master' branch is updated.
Why not fork ? Because then I somehow need to manually\use cron server to get my forked repo updated! It loses the point of having open source repo builds...
Why do I want to build it continually? Because they do not upload their .aar output to mavencetral or jcenter and I don't want to put the .aars in my project and get it updated all the time - bloats the repo...
In any case, I don't get it - there's an open source project, the repo exists and open to everyone, pulling the data and getting webhooks doesn't compromise that repo in any way why isn't this possible ????
If I'm mistaken and web hook is possible, how can I set up a build that will end up in uploading to mavencentral (probably gradle plugin, I have an account and be happy to have a public copy there)?
(I thought of micro service, free of course of some kind + docker based ci which I can pull and build whatever, I don't mind if a build will take time).

Using Azure Powershell or the xpat cli how do I connect my web site to a github hook

Using the portal:
Using the portal at https://manage.windowsazure.com/ this is easy. From a newly created azure web site:
Go to the dashboard
On the quick glance options on the right, click "Set up deployment from source control"
On the "where is your source code?" option, select Github
Authorize, then choose the repo name and branch.
BINGO: now pushes to that branch will trigger a deployment of that branch onto the azure website. Lovely.
Here's the problem:
I cannot for the life of me see how to do this from the command line (using the xpat-cli installed using npm: "npm install azure-cli -g")
It seems like I should be typing something like:
azure site deployment github --verbose --githubusername [username] --githubrepository [username/reponame] [sitename]
Because the help for "azure site deployment github" says it will: "Link a website to a github account for deployment"
Doesn't seem to work though...
If I then type:
azure site show [sitename]
The output says the source control is "LocalGit" instead of github - which is what it says if I do it the portal way above.
Source Control
data: --------------
data: Type: LocalGit
Any ideas?
Depending on your use case the solution will be different.
Assuming you have the same github source but want to deploy to multiple different Azure websites
Potential Solution: Make use of the Deploy to Azure Button See details here: https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/11/13/deploy-to-azure-button-for-azure-websites-2/
Assuming you have various repositories that you want to deploy to Azure: Potential Solution: I am assuming that you will be the person deploying it. The workflow will be as follows:
A. Download files from Github to local folder See here
B. Publish your local folder into a new/existing Azure site. See here, or here. There are other github repositories to get some scripts right away
I understand this doesnt directly hook your system to do direct pull, but its one way to do it.
There is also:
http://www.imtraum.com/blog/streamline-git-with-powershell/
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/a-GitHub-Repository-265c0b49
Both documents I found describing how to set up continuous deployment from GitHub say that you can configure the repo and branch with an Azure Resource Manager template, but you have to enter your credentials and complete the authorization process in the portal.
The script used in this tutorial will automatically configure
continuous publishing from your GitHub repository. This requires that
your GitHub credentials are already stored in Azure, otherwise the
scripted deployment will fail when attempting to configure source
control settings for the web apps.
To store your GitHub credentials in Azure, create a web app in the
Azure preview portal and configure GitHub deployment. You only need to
do this once.
I'd also suggest posting your xpat-cli problem as an issue on their GitHub repo.
