CI Observer Dashboard (POC)

Minimal read-only dashboard that polls GitHub Actions runs and renders a live status wall.

Quick start

1. Copy env template:

cp .env.example .env

2. Edit .env and set:

• GITHUB_TOKEN (classic PAT with repo, read:org, workflow)
• GH_REPOS (e.g. Wolkabout/IoT-Platform-Core)
• GH_WORKFLOWS (e.g. unit-tests.yml)

3. Run:

docker compose up -d --build

4. Open:

http://<runner-ip>:8088

Filters preview (separate instance)

If testing the filters branch in parallel, use:

docker compose -f docker-compose.filters.yml up -d --build

This runs on port 8089 and uses ./data-filters.

Parallel instance on VM

cd /webapps
git clone https://github.com/Wolkabout/ci-observer-dashboard.git ci-observer-dashboard-filters
cd ci-observer-dashboard-filters
git checkout feature/filters
cp .env.example .env
docker compose -f docker-compose.filters.yml up -d --build

Notes

• This is read-only; no CI/CD impact.
• For private repos, a token is required.
• Data stored locally in ./data/ci_observer.db.

Appendix: Reverse proxy (NPM)

• Nginx Proxy Manager runs at 10.0.50.78.
• DNS/hosts should point ci-observer.wolkabout.com to 10.0.50.78.
• NPM forwards to the dashboard on 10.1.50.20:8089.
