Don't want to install this yourself? Run the WebhookDB CLI from the browser or at the /terminal route of your self-hosted WebhookDB instance.

Self-hosting? Visit https://<webhookdb host>/terminal to run against your own WebhookDB server.

Command Line Interface for WebhookDB (https://github.com/webhookdb/webhookdb). WebhookDB replicates any API into a database, so you have immediate, reliable access to all your data.

Installing

Use the docker container (note you need to mount /root to persist auth info between invocations):

$ docker run -it webhookdb/webhookdb-cli:latest version
0.13.0 (acb64d0f)
$ docker run -v ~/.webhookdb/dockercli:/root -it webhookdb/webhookdb-cli:latest auth login

On MacOS, install from Homebrew:

$ brew install webhookdb/webhookdb-cli/webhookdb
$ webhookdb version
0.13.0 (acb64d0f)

On Linux, grab the binary from the latest release (package managers coming soon):

• Download the latest Linux tar.gz file from https://github.com/webhookdb/webhookdb-cli/releases/latest
• Unzip the file: tar -xvf webhookdb_X.X.X_linux_x86_64.tar.gz
• Move ./webhookdb to your execution path, like /usr/local/bin.

On Windows, grab the executable from the zip file:

• Download the latest Windows zip file from https://github.com/webhookdb/webhookdb-cli/releases/latest
• Unzip the webhookdb_X.X.X_windows_x86_64.zip file.
• Run the unzipped webhookdb.exe file.

Usage

To create an account and get started, run:

webhookdb auth login

The CLI will guide you from there.

You also have quick access to the WebhookDB documentation:

• webhookdb docs guide to go to https://docs.webhookdb.com/docs/getting-started/.
• webhookdb docs manual or webhookdb docs html to go to the CLI Reference.
• webhookdb docs tui to render MANUAL.md in your terminal.

Privacy and Telemetry

The CLI collects information when unhandled exceptions are raised. Set WEBHOOKDB_PRIVACY to any non-empty value to opt out of this and any other telemetry we may add in the future.

Releasing

Releases are automated. See .github/workflows/release.yml. A new release is automatically drafted when a tag is (manually) pushed; when the release is committed, a Dockerhub build is triggered.

There is some additional work for releasing via Homebrew and the web terminal.

The process for releasing is:

• Go to webhookdb/homebrew-webhookdb-cli and make sure there is an empty next branch. You can use make create-fresh-next-branch from the homebrew-webhookdb-cli repo for this.
• Tag a commit, ie git tag 0.9.2
• Push the tag, ie git push origin 0.9.2
• When it finishes, a Draft release will be built.
• A commit will also have been added to the homebrew repo's next branch.
• Edit the GitHub release, and publish it.
  • This deploys to Dockerhub ( see deploy-dockerhub.yml).
• Merge the changes from homebrew-webhookdb-cli into main.
  • We cannot have goreleaser automatically push to the tap's main because it would refer to the draft release in the active formula. So we have to make the formula change active once the release is published.
• Update the code used to serve the terminal to refer to the new version. Then deploy the change.
