Configuration to run this locally or behind a firewall

localtunnel is a Python package lets makes your local machine available on the internet.

If you are on Mac OS X, you can just run pip install localtunnel. XCode Developer Tools are required.

Next, start localtunnel on a port number that you're going to run tootles on (default: 7388):

sh sh $ localtunnel-beta 7388

Localtunnel will return a URL that you can use as a PagerDuty webhook.

To start the server and speak aloud (on Macs) a summary of every webhook incident message:
