### Deploying

#### Docker

```
docker run --rm -e GITHUB_TOKEN=XXX -e SLACK_HOOK=https://hooks.slack.com/... justwatch/github-releases-notifier -r=kubernetes/kubernetes
```

#### docker-compose

1. Change into the `deployments/` folder.
2. Open `docker-compose.yml`
3. Change the token in the environment section to the ones obtained above.
4. `docker-compose up`

#### Kubernetes

```bash
kubectl create secret generic github-releases-notifier \
        --from-literal=github=XXX` \
        --from-literal=slack=XXX
```

After creating the secret with your credentials you can apply the deployment:

`kubectl apply -f deployments/kubernetes.yml`

That's it.
