slack-notifier-go

Golang program designed to receive standard output and send it as notifications to Slack.

Installation

Build the executable:

$ go build

Create a configuration file named config.yaml in the same directory as the executable with the following content:

$ cat << EOF > config.yaml
webhookURL: "YOUR_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL_HERE"
EOF

Replace YOUR_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL_HERE with your Slack webhook URL.

Usage

Once you have the executable and configuration set up, you can use slack-notifier-go by piping the output of another command to it.

For example:

$ echo "Hello World" | ./slack-notifier-go

Deployment to Server

To deploy slack-notifier-go to your server, follow these command-line steps:

1. Create a directory for the notifier application:

   # mkdir -p /opt/bin/notify
   

2. Copy the slack-notifier-go executable to the newly created directory:

   # cp slack-notifier-go /opt/bin/notify
   

3. Copy the configuration file (config.yaml) to the same directory:

   # cp config.yaml /opt/bin/notify
   

slack-notifier-go and its configuration file are both located in the /opt/bin/notify directory on your server.

You can execute the program from this directory and ensure it has access to the necessary configuration.
