webhook-mannager 1.0.1

Expose local ports with custom DNS for webhook testing - TUI interface

Webhook Tunnel

A professional Python CLI to expose local ports with a custom hostname, ideal for testing webhooks and callbacks during development. Includes an interactive TUI (Text User Interface).

This version can also expose your local endpoint to the public internet (no account required) using localtunnel via npm/npx.

✨ Key Features

• 🚀 Fast local port exposure
• 🌐 Custom hostname with subdomains
• 🌍 Public internet URL via npm/npx (localtunnel) for webhook testing
• 💻 Interactive TUI
• 📊 Real-time monitoring (CPU, memory, uptime)
• 🔍 Built-in log viewer
• 🎯 Multiple tunnels simultaneously
• 💾 Automatic persistence (config + tunnel registry)
• 🧹 Dead process cleanup

📦 Installation

From PyPI (recommended)

pip install webhook-mannager

With extras

# Full installation with an example webhook server
pip install webhook-mannager[webhook-server]

# Development extras
pip install webhook-mannager[dev]

🚀 Quick Start

1) Start your local service

Make sure your application is running locally, e.g.:

uvicorn app:app --port 8000

2) Create a tunnel

tunnel start teste 8000

You will get:

• Hostname URL (e.g. http://teste.localhost:8001) — requires DNS resolution of teste.localhost
• Local URL (always works) (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8001) — works without any OS DNS changes

If your hostname does not resolve, use the printed curl --resolve ... example.

3) Expose publicly (for real webhook callbacks)

tunnel start teste 8000 --public

This will:

• keep the local gateway running (port forward)
• start localtunnel via npx
• print an External URL that can be called by third-party webhook providers

If npx is not available, the tool can automatically download a portable Node.js LTS runtime into:

~/.webhook-mannager/tools/node

🖥️ TUI (Interactive Interface)

tunnel-tui

Common keys:

• c create a tunnel
• d delete a tunnel
• r restart a tunnel
• l open logs
• p toggle public exposure (localtunnel)
• q quit

🧪 Testing your endpoint

If your local app has GET /readyz, you can test via:

• Local gateway:

curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8001/readyz

• Hostname without OS DNS changes:

curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8001/readyz -H "Host: teste.localhost"

• External URL (requires --public):

curl -v <external_url>/readyz
