#matrix-alertmanager-receiver

Simple daemon - less than 150 lines of Go - forwarding prometheus-alertmanager events to matrix room. While there already is a matrix-alertmanager project out there, use of the JavaScript ecosystem made it rather painful to use from my point of view.

Feel free to directly send me patches and questions by email.

#Build

Make sure you have Go installed (golang-bin package on Fedora).

go build -v

#Container workflow

Container-related logic lives under the contrib/ directory. One can build a 'docker' container using something along the lines of:

docker build -t matrix-alermanager-receiver:latest -f contrib/Dockerfile .

#Usage

Note: you are supposed to expose this service via a proxy such as Nginx, providing basic HTTP authentication.
