Overview

webhookd is a minimalist, powerful webhook server that turns ordinary shell scripts into HTTP endpoints. Drop an executable script into its scripts directory and it becomes a webhook you can trigger over HTTP, with the script output streamed back to the caller in real time as chunked data or Server Sent Events. It is a lightweight way to wire deploys, automation jobs, notifications and integrations to an incoming HTTP request without standing up a full application.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships webhookd hardened, fully patched and secure by default: HTTP Basic authentication is mandatory, so no hook can run unauthenticated, and a unique password is generated on first boot, so no credential is baked into the image. It runs as a dedicated non root service behind an nginx TLS endpoint with a per VM certificate. Paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 support.

Common uses

  • Trigger deploy or automation scripts from an HTTP request
  • Stream long running job output to callers in real time
  • Bridge incoming webhooks to shell driven integrations
