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. 1.
    Go to https://my.webhookrelay.com/buckets and create a bucket (we will call it “my-bucket“ in this example)
  2. 2.
    Configure output destination (another container or IP address where you want to forward)
  3. 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. 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. 5.
    Start Docker Compose:
    docker-compose up -d

Bidirectional tunnel

  1. 1.
    Go to https://my.webhookrelay.com/tunnels and create a tunnel with your desired destination
  2. 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
