## Notes

Huginn is a self-hosted Ruby system for building agents that watch the web and incoming events and take automated actions. Agents create and consume events and pass them along a directed graph, and the README describes it as a hackable version of IFTTT or Zapier on your own server. It can receive and send webhooks, and publish feeds and JSON endpoints from the events its agents collect.

Huginn runs as a web process plus a background worker, backed by MySQL or PostgreSQL. The README recommends a Docker Compose setup on your own server for production and also documents a single-container image, a source install on Ubuntu or Debian, and Heroku. Community-maintained packages exist for YunoHost and Unraid.
