Private Cloud GitHub Integration

Set Up a Webhook

• Add a webhook to your repo

• Payload URL is: https://<NX_CLOUD_APP_URL>/nx-cloud/github-webhook-handler

• Content type: application/json

• Add a "Secret" (can be anything). Remember it, as we'll need to pass it to our Docker container.

• Enable "Check Suites" and "Pull Requests" as the events that trigger the webhook.

Generate Access token

• Private Cloud will need permission to post comments on your Pull Requests

• Follow these instructions

• Make sure you select "repo" as a scope

• After you generate the token, make sure to copy and store it. We'll add it to Private Cloud in a bit.

Optional - Configure Self-Hosted GitHub Instances

• If you are running a self-hosted edition of GitHub, you'll need to tell Private Cloud where to make requests to

• Your GitHub API URL should look like this: https://custom-github-host.com (without a trailing slash)

  Keep a note of it, as we'll use it to configure Private Cloud ☝️

• Optionally, you can try the above URL in the browser to see if it finds the API.

• Note if you use public GitHub, this step is not required. You also don't need to provision the GITHUB_API_URL env variable when creating a container.

Run your container with all the configuration options we generated above:

> docker run --name cloud \ -p 80:8081 \ -e NX_CLOUD_MODE=private-community \ -e NX_CLOUD_APP_URL="https://cloud.myorg.com" \ -e ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin \ -e GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=SECRET_YOU_PROVISIONED \ -e GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN=TOKEN_GENERATED_FOR_YOU \ -e GITHUB_API_URL=URL \ -v /data/private-cloud:/data nxprivatecloud/nxcloud:latest
