Get notified on Mastodon for new Github releases

codeberg.org github-releases-bot

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

You can use the notification feature of Mastodon to get a notification, whenever a new post is published. Just follow an account and hit the little bell icon on its profile page.

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

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