Localhook

Localhook let you receive webhooks behind a firewall. It works like UltraHook or ngrok, but you host the server yourself.

A WebHook is an HTTP callback: an HTTP POST that occurs when something happens. Many popular services (GitHub, Stripe, ActiveCampaign, Papertrail, etc) support updates via webhooks. However, since these webhook requests are made over Internet, it's difficult receive them when testing from behind a firewall.

Localhook lets you host a public endpoint for other services and tunnels requests to a private endpoint on your computer.

Install localhook client:

gem install localhook

First, you must host your own localhook server on internet. Check localhook-server for details.

Then configure a endpoint in localhook-server:

LOCALHOOK_ENDPOINTS=endpoint1:1234

To expose a local webhook http://localhost:3000/webhook to internet,

localhook https://localhook.mydomain.com http://localhost:3000 --token=1234

Instead of giving third party url "http://localhost:3000/webhook", you give them https://localhook.mydomain.com/endpoint1/webhook.

Any POST request sent to https://localhook.mydomain.com/endpoint1/webhook will be forwarded to http://localhost:3000/webhook.
