Slack-Notify

Slack-Notify is a very simple tool for sending a Slack notification via a Slack Incoming Webhook.

It is designed to function as a 12-factor app, receiving configuration via environment variables. To keep things simple, it is rigid in what it allows you to set. More complex slackbots might want to customize this a little more.

Slack Incoming Webhooks

This tool uses Slack Incoming Webhooks to send a message to your slack channel.

Before you can use this tool, you need to log into your Slack account and configure this.

Usage

Running slack-notify in a shell prompt goes like this:

export SLACK_WEBHOOK=https://hooks.slack.com/services/Txxxxxx/Bxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx
SLACK_MESSAGE="hello" slack-notify

Running the Docker container goes like this:

export SLACK_WEBHOOK=https://hooks.slack.com/services/Txxxxxx/Bxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx
docker run -e SLACK_WEBHOOK=$SLACK_WEBHOOK -e SLACK_MESSAGE="hello" ghcr.io/acend/slack-notify:latest

Environment Variables
