Deployment Hooks<\/h2>\n

A hook, also known as a webhook, is a way to add your own code to a standard process to make changes. On a platform, this lets you run your own scripts before or after deploying an application. For example, you can set up hooks for Maven build and Golang application servers<\/a> to do things before and after building your project.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s see how to use hooks on the platform and look at some useful examples with clear instructions.<\/p>\n

Hooks Management<\/h2>\n

Hooks are a part of the deployment process and can be found in an expandable section on the dashboard form. To manage hooks, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

Go to the application deployment dialog using one of these options:<\/p>\n

\"Deployment<\/a><\/p>\n

Deployment buttons for an application server<\/h3>\n

\"Deployment<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> In the opened frame, choose the deployment source type and expand the Hooks section.<\/p>\n

\"Hooks<\/a><\/p>\n

Click either the Pre or Post button to add your code, which will run just before or immediately after deployment.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Enter your hook code in the editor window. You can use any programming language, but make sure the right interpreter is installed on the target container.<\/p>\n

\"Enter<\/a><\/p>\n

\nTip:<\/strong> Use tools like Wrap Lines and Search to help with code editing. The Help option gives details on hook usage.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Click Apply<\/strong> when done. Now you can deploy your application.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> After a successful deployment, click the Show Logs<\/strong> button in the dashboard notification to see detailed responses on the operations performed.<\/p>\n

\"Complete<\/a><\/p>\n

\nNote:<\/strong> If there’s an error during hook execution, you’ll be notified, and the deployment process will stop.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Click the Show Logs button to view the error details in the deployment action log (hooks.log file, accessible through the Logs section for the server).<\/p>\n

Hooks Use Cases<\/h2>\n

Hooks offers many opportunities for developers to automate routine tasks and make deploying applications smoother.<\/p>\n

For example, here are some common tasks you can automate with hooks:<\/p>\n

Pre-deploy hooks (before deploying the application):<\/h3>\n
