Webhook Matrix Notifier

Takes notifications via webhook, checks a secret and notifies a Matrix channel. Listens to HTTP only. Should be used behind a reverse-proxy with HTTPS.

Testing the Hook locally

• Start the webserver locally by env FLASK_APP=wmn.py flask run
  • Or have your IDE do it for you
• Send a POST request using curl curl -i -X POST "localhost:5000/matrix?channel=%21yhEUnvhAZZFKRStdXb%3Amatrix.org" -H "X-Gitlab-Event: Push Hook" -H "X-Gitlab-Token: ..." -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary @./testrequest.json
  • The part after channel= is the room ID which can retrieved from Matrix channels you are part of
  • %21 escapes ! in URI
  • %3A escapes : in URI
  • The X-Gitlab-Token must correspond to the one provided in config.yaml
