Webhook
Webhook is a lightweight Go-based incoming webhook server for easily executing shell commands triggered by HTTP requests.
Description
The Webhook project is a lightweight, configurable, and versatile tool written in Go. It functions as an incoming webhook server, enabling users to easily set up HTTP endpoints that trigger custom shell commands. Data from HTTP requests (headers, payload, query variables) can be passed as arguments to these commands, and rules can be defined to control which requests trigger execution. This allows for seamless integration with various services and platforms for tasks such as automated deployments, system administration, and custom integrations.
Features
Webhook supports both JSON and YAML configuration files, allowing for flexible setup. Users define HTTP endpoints (hooks) that trigger specified shell commands. It's lightweight, written in Go for speed and efficiency. The tool supports advanced hook rules for security and control. It passes data from HTTP requests as command line arguments or environment variables. Webhook offers support for HTTPS for secure communications. It's capable of handling multipart form data. It can be run behind a reverse proxy and supports CORS headers.
Benefits
Webhook simplifies the process of integrating webhooks with shell commands, enabling automation of various tasks. Its lightweight design makes it easy to deploy and maintain. The support for JSON and YAML configuration files enhances flexibility. Security features, such as trigger rules and IP whitelisting, safeguard against unauthorized access. The ability to pass data from HTTP requests to the commands makes it highly adaptable. Its active development community ensures continued improvement and support. The use of Go offers performance and portability.
