Hello, I have one webhook configured to send its messages to another service on the same machine. I have it configured as [http://localhost](http://localhost):port number/plex.asp

The service receiving the messages reports nothing on the listening port after a reboot. I have to remove the webhook and re-add it for it to work again. Any advice? Let me know if there’s any more information I need to provide.

Does using the ip of the server and not localhost make a difference ?

Thinking out loud but could it also be a startup service timing issue ? Maybe one service is coming up after the other causing it to fail to register ?

Thanks for the suggestions.

The receiver service is usually one of the last to finish starting up, so that could be the issue. I have not tried the ip address vs localhost, so I’ll try that too if needed.

If it does turn out to the a timing thing, then you can delay the startup of plex on boot. Something like [How to delay the start of the systemd service | sleeplessbeastie's notes](https://sleeplessbeastie.eu/2022/04/04/how-to-delay-the-start-of-the-systemd-service) would do the trick. I’ve had to do this in the past for other services, not plex specially but in theory it should work fine as its just another linux service really. Best of luck.
