About webhookd
webhookd is a minimal server written in Go that maps incoming HTTP requests to shell scripts. When a request reaches an endpoint, the matching script runs, which makes it simple to trigger deployments, maintenance jobs or other commands from a webhook.
It can be installed with a script or run with Docker and Docker Compose, and the configuration is kept small. It suits people who want to connect a Git host or another service to jobs on their own server without writing a web application.
