tmate Webhooks have stopped working?

[Nobel, R. (Richard)]

Hello, we’ve been successfully using tmate Webhooks ( https://github.com/tmate-io/tmate/wiki/Webhooks ) for some time.

 

But after last Sunday (November 10^th), the Webhook calls from the tmate server seem to have suddenly stopped.

 

When I manually send a HTTP POST request to our configured webhook URL – e.g. using the Postman API tool – it works as expected.

 

Therefore I’m assuming that our webhook URL is no longer receiving events from tmate.

 

 

Kind regards,

I'll take a close look at this.

Sorry about that

Hello Richard,

I have fixed the webhook issue.

Something that might be of interest to you: I will be releasing the following two new features before December:
1) Custom session names: You will be able to use something names like agrometius/mach...@ssh.tmate.io, instead of having a random session name
2) authorized_keys support: You will be able to provide a list of authorized SSH keys that can connect to your tmate session for additional access control.

In the future, I want to support the use case of accessing remote machines in the field really well.

This includes support for high-latency and unreliable mobile connections.

Have a good day,

Nico

Awesome Nico!

Thank you very much for your quick help.  Tmate is a great piece of software. Those new features are looking very promising for our type of application which is indeed high-latency and unreliable. We are facing issues there, with break ups and even resort now to a hack, where the remote machine is regularly connecting to itself , just to check if all is OK. That was the hack we did with limited time we had for now. Will dig deeper in Tmate and will check if setting up our server brings some benefits as well.

Once again, thank you so much!

Hello,

I've released the features oriented for remote access.

Would you mind trying it out and let me know what you think?

The documentation is here: https://tmate.io/#remote_access

Note that you'll need the latest tmate version. The linux static builds can be found here: https://github.com/tmate-io/tmate/releases/tag/2.4.0
