GitHub

Lyna uses GitHub in two ways: it shows a project's README on its product page, and it posts releases and repository activity into Discord.

READMEs on product pages

Nothing to set up. A product whose page is its GitHub README fetches it from GitHub and keeps it for an hour.

Without a token, GitHub allows 60 requests an hour from your server's address. That is enough for most instances. If you serve many products, give Lyna a token:

GITHUB_TOKEN=github_pat_...

A fine-grained token with read access to public repositories is enough.

Release posts and activity

Each product gets its own webhook. Set it up on the product's Announcements tab. It shows you a payload URL and a secret to enter on GitHub.

The payload URL is built from api.url, so set that to your public address first. See reverse proxy.

Posts go into Discord, so they need the bot. See Discord.
