webhookd is a minimalist webhook server written in Go that exposes HTTP endpoints which trigger shell scripts or arbitrary executable processes. It is configured via a directory of scripts and environment variables, and ships as a binary, Docker image, or systemd service.
Use cases
- trigger shell scripts from github webhooks
- run deployment scripts via http requests
- simple self-hosted webhook receiver for ci/cd
- execute bash scripts when an http endpoint is hit
- hook external services to local commands
- lightweight automation server without writing code
When to choose
- you want to run shell scripts or any executable in response to HTTP webhooks
- you need a tiny, dependency-free self-hosted webhook server
- you prefer configuration via files and environment variables over writing a web app
- you deploy with Docker or systemd and want a preconfigured service
When to avoid
- you need complex routing, transformations, or a visual workflow builder like n8n or Huginn
- you require strong multi-tenant auth or a managed SaaS webhook service
- your logic is better expressed in a full application framework than shell scripts
