mod_pubsub_post: Restructure authentication and authorization (BC) This deprecates the default "superuser" actor model and makes the default equivalent to the previous "request.id". A single actor and secret per node is supported because HTTP and WebHooks don't normally include any authorization identity. Allowing authentication bypass when no secret is given should be relatively safe when the actor is unprivileged, as will be unless explicitly configured otherwise.

summary: Publish Github commits over pubsub

## Introduction

This module accepts Github web hooks and publishes them to a local
pubsub component for XMPP clients to subscribe to.

Entries are pushed as Atom payloads.

It may also work with Gitlab.

## Configuration

Load the module on a pubsub component:

    Component "pubsub.example.com" "pubsub"
        modules_enabled = { "pubsub_github" }

The module also takes the following config options:

  Name             Default     Description
  ---------------- ----------- -------------------------------------------
  github\_node     "github"    The pubsub node to publish commits on.
  github\_secret   *not set*   Shared secret used to sign HTTP requests.

The URL for Github to post to would be either:

-   http://pubsub.example.com:5280/pubsub\_github
-   https://pubsub.example.com:5281/pubsub\_github

If your HTTP host doesn't match the pubsub component's address, you will
need to inform Prosody. For more info see Prosody's [HTTP server
documentation](https://prosody.im/doc/http#virtual_hosts).
