# bside-webhook-proxy
Multi-project webhook proxy for incoming webhooks (Square, Stripe, GitHub, etc.).
Services like Square can deliver webhooks but cannot add custom HTTP headers like `X-Appwrite-Project`. This proxy receives those webhooks, looks up the matching project's API key from its environment config, and forwards the request to the right Appwrite function with the proper auth headers.
One proxy serves all projects — routing is driven entirely by environment variables.
---
## How it works
```
Caller (Square, etc.)
│ POST raw webhook payload
https://app-proxy.bsidesolutions.net/square
│ Express server resolves:
│ ROUTE_MAP["/square"] = { apiKeySlot: "square", functionId: "verify_square_webhook" }
│ PROJECT_CREDENTIALS["square"] = { project: "staging-crown-x-ms-monet", key: "..." }
POST https://appwrite.bsidesolutions.net/v1/functions/verify_square_webhook/executions
Headers: X-Appwrite-Project + X-Appwrite-Key
Appwrite function runs, returns response, proxy returns it to caller.
```
---
## Quick start
### Local
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# edit .env to fill in PROJECT_CREDENTIALS and ROUTE_MAP
npm install
npm start
```
### Docker
```bash
docker build -t bside-webhook-proxy .
docker run --rm -p 3012:3012 \
-e PROJECT_CREDENTIALS='{"square":{"project":"...","key":"..."}}' \
-e ROUTE_MAP='/square=>{"apiKeySlot":"square","functionId":"verify_square_webhook"}' \
bside-webhook-proxy
```
### Coolify
1. In Coolify → **Add New Resource****Application****Public/Private Repo**
2. Point at `bside-solutions/bside-webhook-proxy`
3. Coolify auto-builds the Dockerfile
4. Set the domain (e.g. `app-proxy.bsidesolutions.net`)
5. Add environment variables (see [Configuration](#configuration))
6. Deploy
---
## Configuration
All credentials live in environment variables — nothing secret is ever committed.
### `PROJECT_CREDENTIALS` (required)
JSON object mapping slot names → `{ project, apiKey }`.
```json
{
"square": {
"project": "staging-crown-x-ms-monet",
"apiKey": "<appwrite-api-key-with-functions.write-scope>"
},
"stripe": {
"project": "staging-other-project",
"apiKey": "<appwrite-api-key-with-functions.write-scope>"
}
}
```
### `ROUTE_MAP` (optional)
Maps short paths to `{ apiKeySlot, functionId }`. Format:
```
/path=>{"apiKeySlot":"slot-name","functionId":"function-name"};
/path2=>{"apiKeySlot":"slot-name-2","functionId":"function-name-2"}
```
Example:
```
/square=>{"apiKeySlot":"square","functionId":"verify_square_webhook"};
/stripe=>{"apiKeySlot":"stripe","functionId":"verify_stripe_webhook"}
```
If a short-path route matches, the proxy uses its config directly. Otherwise, the caller must pass `project`, `function`, and `apiKey` as querystring params.
### `APPWRITE_BASE_URL` (optional)
Default: `https://appwrite.bsidesolutions.net/v1`. Override if your Appwrite API lives elsewhere.
### `PORT` (optional)
Default: `3012`.
---
## Webhook URL formats
Either of these work:
### Short path (uses ROUTE_MAP)
```
POST https://app-proxy.bsidesolutions.net/square
```
### Explicit querystring (always works, no route config needed)
```
POST https://app-proxy.bsidesolutions.net?project=staging-crown-x-ms-monet&function=verify_square_webhook&apiKey=square
```
---
## Health check
```
GET https://app-proxy.bsidesolutions.net/health
```
Returns:
```json
{
"status": "ok",
"projects": ["square"],
"routes": ["/square"],
"timestamp": "2026-07-07T..."
}
```
---
## Adding a new project / webhook
1. Generate an API key in the target Appwrite project with `functions.write` scope
2. Update `PROJECT_CREDENTIALS` JSON env var on the proxy service to include the new slot
3. Add a route entry to `ROUTE_MAP` env var if you want a short URL
4. Restart the proxy container
No code changes needed.
---
## Local development
```bash
npm install
npm start
```
To test forwarding:
```bash
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:3012/square' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"test": true}'
```
