I’m not sure about that actually, I just ran this on server console in a live game server and it worked

If it is true, it is still better to use a proxy, and more backup proxies, and then the normal discord URL as a last resort.
In case they ban it again.
You can also do it on a live game too.
Hi, trying to figure out how to host a private instance of this service; are there any guides on this available? The Github readme is criminally nondescriptive.

This is how i set it up on Almalinux 8.10 and 9.4
I use CyberPanel, for the OpenLiteSpeed proxy, to show the sub domain instead of the IP.
For Almalinux 8 and 9:

Once you have installed RabbitMQ, you can run the following command in the Run-Webhook.
You can place the webhook folder anywhere you want, but i suggest not posting it in a public folder.
This example is not a good place to post it.
/home/newstargeted.com/public_html
cd /home/webhook-proxy
git clone GitHub - lewisakura/webhook-proxy: A Discord webhook proxy, primarily for Roblox games.
Duplicate and or rename the config.example.json into config.json.
You can also edit the config file as needed.
See normal configs here:
WebhookProxy | Discord webhooks go brrrrrrr - #23 by lewisakura
Run-Webhook
cd /home/webhook-proxy
npm i -g pm2 yarn
npm install pm2@latest -g
pm2 update
pm2 flush
pm2 delete all
pm2 save --force
yarn && yarn build
pm2 start dist/index.js --name=webhook-proxy -i 1
pm2 start dist/queueProcessor.js --name=webhook-proxy-processor -i 1
pm2 install pm2-logrotate
pm2 set pm2-logrotate:max_size=1G retain=5 compress=true
pm2 set pm2-logrotate:retain 5
pm2 set pm2-logrotate:compress true
pm2 set pm2-logrotate:dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD_HH-mm-ss
pm2 set pm2-logrotate:dateFormat ss-mm-HH-MM-YYYY
pm2 save
pm2 update
pm2 logs
After that, you need some way of using the proxy against your domain, such as a reproxy.
I use CyberPanel, where i then use OLS (Open Lite Speed)
Where i use my https://webhook.newstargeted.com as an example:
Since i save the external app as a webhook, i go into the .htaccess and use this as a rewrite.

I’m not sure if its just me or it looks like the proxy is either down or discord has stopped taking my requests?
Here is what my output looks like:
As you can see everything is fine, at least to me, but my messages are not printing in a discord channel? It was working perfectly fine a couple of hours ago so I’m not sure what has happened.

You’re fine, the holdup is on Discord’s end. More info here WebhookProxy | Discord webhooks go brrrrrrr - #293 by lewisakura
Do you have any specific instructions for Ubuntu Linux?
I updated the tutorial for all 3. Almalinux 8, Almalinux 9, and Ubuntu.
I have been encountering a bunch of internal server errors, is there any information on this?

I’m not sure how this is happening, but I just got around to setting up my own instance and the webhook proxy appears to be throwing out a slew of errors regarding a connection to localhost (specifically 127.0.0.1 port 6379) being refused, any idea what’s causing this?
(this goes on for a long time.)
EDIT: Found out that the redis package was needed, why was that not a part of the instructions?

Roblox and Guilded have the opportunity to do something funny.
What do you mean by funny, when there are no users on the platform?

Hello, using /queue seems to only return an HTTP 403 error? Don’t really have any other way to handle rate limiting either
Seems there is an issue for me.
Did something happen to the Proxy?
For me too, it seems like it takes hours to send webhook
this doesn’t seem to be working for me at the moment/no longer notifying my discord when someone joins
