Submit links to HackerNews in a Docker container image

Submit HackerNews

Introduction

This small Shell script will submit links to HackerNews. It is hugely beneficial to automate the task of submission at desired schedules.

To run the script, run the following command:

docker run \
  --name submit-hackernews \
  --rm \
  -e "HACKERNEWS_USERNAME=your_username" \
  -e "HACKERNEWS_PASSWORD=your_password" \
  ghcr.io/meysam81/submit-hackernews:v1 \
  -t "This is the title of submission" \
  -u "https://example.com"

Usage: GitHub Actions

You can run this in a GitHub Actions workflow. Here is an example:

name: ci

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      title:
        description: The title of the link to submit.
        required: true
      url:
        description: The URL of the link to submit.
        required: true
      verbose:
        type: boolean
        description: Verbose?
        default: true

jobs:
  submit-hackernews:
    if: github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Submit link to Hacker News
        uses: meysam81/submit-hackernews@v1
        with:
          username: ${{ secrets.HACKERNEWS_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.HACKERNEWS_PASSWORD }}
          title: ${{ github.event.inputs.title }}
