I tried to "generate" one the way it's described for the non-docker install, here the creation fails with an error (node.js 9.11 installed):

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:550
    throw err;
    ^

@turt2live Trevis, is there any workaround to get this file? I'm currently changing everything over from Mattermost to a self hosted Matrix, and I need the Slack compatible webhooks (my Mattermost license runs out in 7 days and I need to move my Monitoring Events over to Matrix which are using Slack compatible Webhooks)

I don't know a way to get that running yet ... ;-)

You could write the file out manually. It's supposed to be in the Docker volume alongside some other files (mentioned in the README).

Here's an example:

id: webhooks
hs_token: A_RANDOM_ALPHANUMERIC_STRING
as_token: ANOTHER_RANDOM_ALPHANUMERIC_STRING
namespaces:
  users:
    - exclusive: true
      regex: '@_webhook.*'
  aliases: []
  rooms: []
url: 'http://localhost:9002'  # you may need to change this
sender_localpart: _webhook
rate_limited: false
protocols: null

@turt2live I've got it working :-)
There is an issue in your docs: In your config example you have written for the symlink:

ln -s ../matrix-appservice-webhooks/appservice-registration-webhooks.yaml appservice-registration-webhooks.yaml

But the file name is appservice-webhooks-registration. There is a word swap in this area of the docs.
Another question: The webhook bridge wrote me:

This room is no longer viable as an admin room. Please open a new direct conversation with me to maintain an admin room.

This is not documented ... what is an "admin room"?

[turt2live]

An admin room is a room between you and the bridge only.

[jacotec]

OK, what can I do there? Is there a doc?

[turt2live]

The admin room is currently only used to give you the URL for the webhook - nothing more.
