Deploy and Host Github to Discord Webhook Bridge on Railway

GitHub to Discord Webhook Bridge is a self-hosted service that forwards GitHub webhook events to Discord channels with beautifully formatted embeds. It supports multi-user, multi-repo configurations with secure HMAC-SHA256 webhook signature verification, making it easy to get real-time GitHub notifications in your Discord server.

NOTE

On first startup, please check the deployment logs for the first invite code! Otherwise, you will not be able to sign up for a user account.

About Hosting Github to Discord Webhook Bridge

Deploying GitHub to Discord Webhook Bridge involves setting up a Bun-powered web server connected to a PostgreSQL database. The service receives incoming webhooks from GitHub, verifies their authenticity using cryptographic signatures, and forwards formatted embed messages to configured Discord webhook URLs. Railway simplifies this by automatically provisioning the database and detecting the public domain. The service supports flexible registration modes (open, closed, or invite-only), and migrations run automatically on startup—no manual database setup required.

Common Use Cases

Team Development Notifications - Get instant Discord notifications when pull requests are opened, closed, or merged across multiple repositories
Multi-Repo Monitoring - Consolidate GitHub activity from many repositories into a single Discord channel for easier tracking
Secure Webhook Forwarding - Route GitHub webhooks through a secure intermediary that verifies signatures before forwarding to Discord

Dependencies for Github to Discord Webhook Bridge Hosting

Bun Runtime - Modern JavaScript runtime that powers the server
PostgreSQL Database - Stores users, sessions, webhook mappings, and invite codes

Deployment Dependencies

Bun - JavaScript runtime
PostgreSQL - Relational database
Hono - Lightweight web framework
Drizzle ORM - TypeScript ORM with auto-migrations

Implementation Details

The service exposes a webhook receiver endpoint at /webhook/github/:id that GitHub calls when events occur. Each webhook mapping stores the Discord webhook URL and a secret for signature verification:

// GitHub webhook signature verification
const signature = c.req.header("X-Hub-Signature-256");
const expectedSignature = `sha256=${crypto
  .createHmac("sha256", mapping.secret)
  .update(body)
  .digest("hex")}`;

Environment variables control the service behavior:

Variable	Required	Description
`DATABASE_URL`	✅	PostgreSQL connection string
`PORT`	❌	Server port (default: 3000)
`REGISTRATION`	❌	`open`, `closed`, or `invite_only`
