Webhook.site Open Source

About the Open Source version

There are two separate editions of Webhook.site:

  • The code for the completely open-source, MIT-licensed version described on this page is available on https://github.com/webhooksite/webhook.site, and can be self-hosted using e.g. Docker, is great for testing Webhooks, but doesn't include Webhook.site Pro features like Custom Actions.

  • The cloud version of Webhook.site at https://webhook.site which has more features, some of them requiring a paid subscription.

You can choose to run the Open Source version of Webhook.site either via Docker, or install it on any Web server with PHP7 support.

Realtime updates

laravel-echo-server or Pusher can be used to enable realtime updates. Take a look at the .env.example to see the environment variables required to configure it.

For laravel-echo-server, the app expects socket.io to be available at the /socket.io path relative to the index page. This can be done with nginx like so:

    location /socket.io {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6001;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }

Installation

The provided Docker Compose file sets up a complete environment that runs the Webhook.site image and all dependencies (Redis, Laravel Echo Server, etc.). Note that if running this in production, you should probably run a Redis server that persists data to disk. The Docker image is also not tuned for large amounts of traffic.

Installation Guide

  1. Run docker-compose up
  2. The app will be available on http://127.0.0.1:8084.

Kubernetes

A set of Helm configuration files can be found in the helm subfolder.
