# Configuration
The configuration directory should contain two subdirectories: `handlers` and `hooks`. The `hooks` directory should contain configuration files for webhooks. These files are defined in [TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml). For example, here is a config file for a website deployment using gutenberg:
```toml
[[handlers]]
type = "github"
secret = "**************"
[[handlers]]
type = "command"
command = "rm -rf /var/www/default/*"
[[handlers]]
type = "command"
command = "gutenberg build --output-dir /var/www/default"
```
If this config file existed at `$DIP_ROOT/hooks/website`, then it would be served from `http://localhost:5000/webhook/website`.
## Config File Format
The hook config should contain an array called `handlers`, which is a sequence of `handler` tables.
#### The `type` key
Each `handler` must contain at least one key required by dip, `type`, which determines what kind of hook will be run.
Dip comes with two built-in handlers:
- [`command`](handlers.html#bash-commands)
- [`github`](handlers.html#github-webhooks)
If you set `type` to one of these values, dip will automatically use the built-in. Otherwise, dip will look into the `handlers` subdirectory for an executable matching the `type` that you specified. For example, if you set `type = "mkdir"`, then it will look for `$DIP_ROOT/handlers/mkdir`, which must be an executable file. It will _not_ run the system `mkdir`. If you want to run the system `mkdir`, use `type = "command"`, so it will run a bash command instead.
## Handler Input and Output
Think of a handler as a function that takes two inputs: a configuration and per-instance data. The configuration is specified in the configuration file, while the per-instance data is specific to that run of the webhook.
For example, suppose we have the following setup:
```toml
[[handlers]]
type = "github"
secret = "hunter2"
```
If a new Github webhook is deployed, then the first config input will be:
```json
{
"secret": "hunter2"
}
```
This input will be provided to the executable using `--config` in JSON format. For example, if `github` was not a builtin, then a call to the `github` executable might look like:
```bash
/usr/bin/github --config '{"secret":"hunter2"}'
```
The second input that's provided to the handler is information specific to this run. For the first handler in the sequence, this will be data serialized from the HTTP request, and for subsequent handlers, it will be the output of the previous handler. This input is provided through standard input directly as is.
Think of it as a fold over the list of handlers:
```hs
foldl (\input next_handler -> next_handler input) http_data handlers
```
### Environment Variables
Every process spawned by Dip as part of a webhook will have certain variables set to give it information about its environment:
- `DIP_ROOT`: the root config directory for Dip.
- `DIP_WORKDIR`: the temporary directory created for this specific hook invocation.

# Deployment
## Download Dip
The easiest way to get a copy of Dip is to download a binary from the [releases page](https://github.com/acmumn/dip/releases).
Alternatively, clone the repository and compile from source.
### HTTP Server setup
Dip runs an HTTP server. By default it serves on port 5000 on all interfaces. Use `--bind` on the executable to change this.
It's recommended to vhost your Dip through a server such as Nginx. Here's a sample Nginx config:
```
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
}
```
### Root configuration directory
Delegate a directory on your server to act as a root config directory.
### Systemd
Systemd is useful for keeping Dip running as a daemon, and starting it automatically on startup. Here's a sample systemd config:
```
[Unit]
Description=Configurable Webhook Server
[Service]
User=dip
Environment="RUST_BACKTRACE=1"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dip --root /etc/dip --bind "127.0.0.1:5000"
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
```

# Built-in Handlers
Dip comes with two built-in handlers: Bash commands and Github webhooks.
## Bash commands
Bash commands are invoked with `type = "command"`. It will run whatever is specified in the `command` field using `bash` (assuming it exists on the system).
An full config using a `command` handler follows:
```toml
[[handlers]]
type = "command"
# the command to run using bash
command = "echo hi"
```
## Github webhooks
For Github webhooks, dip will verify the webhook (by using the provided secret) and then clone the repository that the webhook was attached to into the temporary directory created for that specific invocation.
This handler isn't very useful by itself, so it's a good idea to follow up this handler with some `command`s or other handlers to use the newly cloned repository (for example, build or deploy).
An full config using a `github` handler follows:
```toml
[[handlers]]
type = "github"
# webhook secret
secret = "**************"
# turn off secret verification (false by default)
disable_hmac_verify = false
# path to clone to
path = "."
```

# Dip
Dip is a configurable webhook server.
It will listen on endpoints, and every time that endpoint is hit, it will run through a set of commands defined through configuration files.

# Dip
The configurable webhook server. Latest stable binary releases for Linux are available on the [releases][1] page.
## Flow
In your config file, you define **hooks**: endpoints that are listening for input. Each hook comprises of a series
of handlers, which are building blocks of the hook. The hook will execute each handler in order, taking the output
of one and passing it into the input of the next.
## Getting Started
Setup is incredibly simple: first, obtain a copy of `dip` either through the binary releases page or by compiling from source.
Then, create a directory that you'll use as your `DIP_ROOT` directory. It should look like this:
```text
root
handlers
executable
hooks
hookname
```
Handlers exist in the form of executables that take a `--config` and an input via `stdin`. These inputs should
take the form of JSON objects. Usually config is passed through the hook config, and stdin is the output of the
previous handler.
