Argus is an open-source monitor for new software releases. It watches GitHub releases and web updates, and notifies your team when a new version is found. A web UI lets you view tracked releases and approve WebHooks to trigger automated workflows.
Key Features
- Monitor GitHub releases for a given owner/repo, including private repositories with an access token
- Monitor website releases by URL and a regex to detect the latest version
- Alert via Gotify, Slack, Telegram, and other channels, with WebHook support
- Web UI to view releases and approve WebHooks for downstream actions
- Lightweight architecture with a Go backend and a React frontend embedded into a single binary
- Open-source under Apache-2.0 with code hosted on GitHub
- YAML-based configuration (config.yml) for flexible setup
Use Cases
- Trigger deployments or upgrades by sending WebHooks to automation tools when a new release is found
- Notify engineering teams through preferred channels (Slack, email, etc.) about fresh releases
- Centralize monitoring of multiple projects by aggregating release feeds from GitHub and websites
Conclusion
Argus provides a concise, self-hosted solution to keep teams informed about new software releases and to automate responses via WebHooks and messaging integrations. Its Go/React stack and YAML configuration make it straightforward to deploy and extend across organizations.
