webhook HTTP Endpoint Command Runner on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

webhook is a lightweight, configurable tool that lets you create HTTP endpoints, called hooks, which run configured commands when they are called. It is the simple way to connect an external event to an action on your server: a Git push triggering a deployment, a build job triggering a packaging step, or a monitoring alert triggering a remediation script. You define each hook in a small JSON or YAML file, choosing the command to run and the rules that must match before it runs, and webhook exposes it as an HTTP endpoint that runs your command and returns its output.

Common uses

• Trigger deployments and build steps from a Git push or pipeline
• Run automation or remediation scripts in response to HTTP events
• Expose a secure, self hosted endpoint for webhooks from external services
