Docker Compose

Docker Compose is an excellent option to run multiple containers together. You can have a perfect development environment that receives webhooks directly from Stripe, Github and other services.

Webhook Relay agent can either forward requests to destinations or open bidirectional tunnels. It is a single Docker image that requires access key and secrets for authentication.

If you don't have Docker installed, we highly recommend checking resources available on https://www.docker.com/.

Webhook forwarding

1. Go to https://my.webhookrelay.com/buckets and create a bucket (we will call it “my-bucket“ in this example)

2. Configure output destination (another container or IP address where you want to forward)

3. Create a docker-compose.yaml file:

   version: '3.2'
   services:
    relay:
      container_name: webhookrelay
      image: webhookrelay/webhookrelayd:latest
      network_mode: host # required if you want to access other services running on localhost (otherwise localhost would be inside this container)
      restart: always
      environment:
        # Authentication
        - RELAY_KEY=${RELAY_KEY}
        - RELAY_SECRET=${RELAY_SECRET}
        # buckets list to subscribe
        - BUCKETS=${BUCKETS}
        # Destination to filter on (if you have multiple outputs and only 
        # wish to forward one or more from the bucket)
        - DESTINATION=${DESTINATION}

4. Create .env file:

   RELAY_KEY="your-access-token-key"
   RELAY_SECRET="your-access-token-secret"
   BUCKETS=my-bucket
   DESTINATION=<destination output ID, name or URL to filter on>

5. Start Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up -d

Bidirectional tunnel

1. Go to https://my.webhookrelay.com/tunnels and create a tunnel with your desired destination

2. Create a docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3.2'

services:
  relay:
    container_name: webhookrelay
    image: webhookrelay/webhookrelayd:latest
    network_mode: host      
    command:
      - --mode 
      - tunnel
    restart: always
    environment:
      # Authentication
      - RELAY_KEY=${RELAY_KEY}
      - RELAY_SECRET=${RELAY_SECRET}
      # One or more tunnels must be set in the .env file
      - TUNNELS=${TUNNELS
      - REGION=us-west # eu, au, us-west (defaults to eu)    

3. Create .env file:

RELAY_KEY="your-access-token-key"
RELAY_SECRET="your-access-token-secret"
TUNNELS=your-tunnel

4. Start Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d
