Webhook Token too long for Github about caprover HOT 6 OPEN

Ahhh I was looking at a test instance. I just tried a production one and it failed.... :(
I don't know when they changed this as it used to work in the past... 🤦

I'll see if we can have a workaround here. I have a few options and I'll update this thread once I have more info.

is there a way to reduce the size of the token= param in the webhook?

I just tried the webhook on github and it doesn't have the length limitation. What issue are you facing?

from caprover.

and your request url is longer than 255 characters?
bc mine gets cut off after 255 characters and cap rover returns the before mentioned 502 "jwt corrupted"

how is this jwt generated? it has nothing to do with the private key I'm pasting into the GitHub repo section, right?

from caprover.

at least a yay for replication :p thanks! maybe the token can be shortened as it's only used by cap rover anyways? or hashed again?

yeah I agree, and it worked before, but seems like they updated that requirement... kind of strange though as you can fill in a longer webhook in the UI. I have opened a ticket, but no response so far

Yea this is surely a bug on their end.

Token shortening requires some non trivial data store schema design. But I just found a temporary solution for this!!

• Create a new app on your CapRover instance (just a empty app)
• Enable HTTPS for the app
• Go to the HTTP Settings of the app and find this line:

set $upstream http://<%-s.localDomain%>:<%-s.containerHttpPort%>;

• Right below this line, add this block

        location /mywebhookforapp1 {
            proxy_pass <YOUR WEBHOOK URL>;
           # the semicolon at the end of the URL is important
        }

• Click on SAVE AND RESTART
• Now on github, change your webhook URL to `https://youremptyapp.your.domain.com/mywebhookforapp1
