Copy the three files update.php, latest.php and .htaccess to the web server which will host your repository.
Configure your repository addon to point to the server. The extension point of the addon.xml file should look like this, where http://example.com/kodi-repo/ is the location you installed the repository updater: <extension point="xbmc.addon.repository" name="Example Repository"> <info>http://example.com/kodi-repo/addons.xml</info> <checksum>http://example.com/kodi-repo/addons.xml.md5</checksum> <datadir zip="true">http://example.com/kodi-repo/addons</datadir> </extension>
The following steps will need to be performed for every addon that will be published to the Kodi repository:.
Ensure your addon is hosted on GitHub, with the repository named the same as your addon ID.
Add a GitHub webhook to your addon repository, choosing only the Release event to trigger it. Set the payload URL to point at the file update.php, for example http://example.com/kodi-repo/update.php.
Set a secret for your webhook, ensuring you choose a suitably long, random string. This will ensure that only you are able to publish code to your Kodi repository.
Create (or edit) the file secrets.json on your web server, in the installation directory,. Add an entry for your addon using the addon ID as a key. The file should look something like this, with one line per addon: { "plugin.example-plugin": "QdS0nyimPbEPuleCFGkQcGJA8Oo0cAVbmLIVKYqGPGfG1kmtQu", "script.example-script": "Npw4J2QBQa0uh4FzHXPvWvJM9dELjQDkk6maW2GHimczz7ACIy" }
