$ echo "#\!/usr/bin/env bash" > handlers/myrepo/push
$ echo "echo hello > output.txt" >> handlers/myrepo/push
$ chmod +x handlers/myrepo/push

# Start the server

# In another terminal, send a sample webhook event
$ loadrunner event localhost:3000 myrepo push master

Running with Docker

You can run both the server and the client using Docker.

# Server
$ docker run -p3000:3000 dannyben/loadrunner server

# Client
$ docker run dannyben/loadrunner event http://webhook.server.com/payload repo push

If you wish to connect the client to the server you are running through Docker, you can do something like this:

$ docker run --network host dannyben/loadrunner event http://localhost:3000/payload repo push
