Projektgeschichte

The public GitHub repository was created on January 12, 2015, and its first listed GitHub release, webhook 1.0.4, was published on March 13, 2015. The project has continued as an MIT-licensed command-line daemon under Adnan Hadziabdic's `adnanh/webhook` repository, with later 2.x releases still appearing as of 2026.

The README describes the tool as a lightweight configurable incoming webhook server written in Go. That framing has remained stable across the project's life: it is not a full automation platform, but a minimal bridge between webhook providers and local server-side commands.

Adoptionsgeschichte

webhook's adoption has been strongest in self-hosted and operations workflows where users want a single-purpose listener instead of a larger CI/CD or eventing system. The upstream README points to guides for automatic deployments, JIRA integration, Ansible AWX job triggers, Salt-based static-site deployment, Plex-to-Telegram notifications, and other practical automation examples.

By July 2026 the GitHub repository showed roughly twelve thousand stars and hundreds of forks via the public GitHub API, a sign that it became a recognizable Unix-style building block for small webhook automation jobs.

Wie es verwendet wird

A typical setup defines one or more hooks in `hooks.json` or `hooks.yaml`. Each hook names an id, a command to execute, optional working directory and argument mappings, and trigger rules that can inspect headers, payload fields, or query parameters before the command runs.

Administrators commonly run webhook as a long-lived service behind a firewall, reverse proxy, or systemd unit, then wire providers such as GitHub, GitLab, monitoring systems, or chat tools to call the hook endpoint. Its package-nerd appeal is that the behavior is transparent: HTTP in, rule check, process execution out.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

webhook matters because it packages a common shell-ops pattern without demanding a workflow server. For people maintaining small servers, lab machines, media boxes, or personal deployment targets, it is the sort of boring CLI that replaces a pile of ad hoc CGI scripts while still feeling close to the shell.

• webhook sits near lightweight automation tools such as shell scripts, cron jobs, systemd units, and small CI deploy hooks. It overlaps with larger CI/CD systems only at the edge where an external HTTP event needs to trigger a local command.
