webhook
A lightweight incoming webhook server written in Go that executes shell commands based on HTTP requests.
What is webhook?
Webhook is a lightweight, configurable tool written in Go that creates HTTP endpoints (hooks) on a server to execute configured shell commands. It solves the problem of automating tasks like redeploying applications, running scripts, or integrating with services like GitHub, Bitbucket, Slack, and Mattermost by parsing request data and validating trigger rules before executing commands.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers who need to automate server-side tasks via HTTP requests, such as deploying code, running maintenance scripts, or integrating with third-party webhook services.
Developers choose Webhook for its simplicity and focus on doing one thing well: receiving requests, parsing data, validating rules, and executing commands, while leaving everything else to the command's author. Its lightweight nature, configuration flexibility (JSON/YAML), and security features like trigger rules and HTTPS support make it a reliable choice over more complex alternatives.
