Tentacles

Pull requests dashboard

Tentacles displays all the pull requests from your repositories, and the organizations you belong to, curated into a single interface.

This project, while quite stable, is still in a early phase. Until it reaches version 1.0, some things are expected to be broken, refactored, or pulled entirely.

• Ruby 2.7
• Node 14
• Yarn 1.22
• PostgreSQL 11.5

• Sign In with your Github account, no need to create an account and remember a password!
• Select the repositories you want to track pull requests with, and save your preferences.
• Display the dashboard of pull requests to review, it's automatically sorted from oldest to newest, and an empahsys is made to those that are superior than 6 month/3 month/1 month/15 days old.
• Pull request's CI status is updating every 15 minutes.
• Supports the user's system preferences by displaying a Dark mode (whith compatible browsers).

This application is storing the configuration of the environment in a .env file, it uses the principles behind a twelve-factor app.

You can find an example of this file in the .env.example.

You will first need need to create a GitHub app. Instructions are described in the Creating a GitHub App documentation page.

Copy the GitHub client Id and secrets into the .env.

GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_app_client_id
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your_app_client_secret

Generate a random secret for the database password and put them in the .env.

# Test and Dev
TENTACLES_DEV_DATABASE_PASSWORD=random_string_secret
# Production
TENTACLES_DATABASE_PASSWORD=random_string_secret

You will also need to add the needded PostgreSQL env variables for athtentication:

PGHOST=localhost
PGUSER=postgres
POSTGRES_USER=postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=same_as_TENTACLES_DEV_DATABASE_PASSWORD

This project uses GitHub's GraphQL API. To (re)generate the GraphQL schema, you will need to create a personal access token on GitHub. Instruction are described in the Creating a personal access token for the command line documentation page.

Add this personnal token named GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN into the .env. This is solely used to update the schema locally, no need to add this token on your production server configuration.

You can request a newer version of the schema using rails:

bundle exec rails schema:update

Then push the db/schema.json into the repository.

yarn install
bundle install

bundle exec rails db:create
bundle exec rails db:migrate

The server is available by default on the port 3000.

bundle exec rails s -p 3000 -b '0.0.0.0'

To access the app in your local browser, go to http://localhost:3000.

In development mode, you also need to launch the webpack dev server:

./bin/webpack-dev-server

The webpack dev server will run on the 3035 port.

In development, you can use Docker and docker-compose to bootstrap the project. The Dockerfile contains everything needed to install and launched Tentacles.

The docker-compose.yml contains all the configuration:

• A web container (the Web App).
• A Redis conainer (for cache).
• A PostgreSQL container (for storing mostly the users and preferences).
• A Webpack Dev Server (to use webpack with hot reloading).

docker-compose build

docker-compose up

To access the app in your local browser, go to http://localhost:3000.

The webpack dev server will run on the 3035 port.

bundle exec rspec
