+# UNATCORelay
+
+UNATCORelay is a Node server that you can use to route GitHub messages to Discord channels via webhooks.
+
+UNATCORelay works per-channel (hook) and accepts any messages as long as they are validated as coming from GitHub.
+
+This may be a bit awkward for some but I am a busy man and this suits my needs, so please do use the issue tracker
+and pull requests if you need features added.
+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+- `PORT`: Port to host on. Required.
+- `WEBHOOK_URI`: URI for the webhook to send to. Required.
+- `GITHUB_SECRET`: Secret key for validating requests. Not required, but *heavily recommended*.
+- `VHOST`: Virtual host to respond from. Recommended if you use your own subdomain.
+
+### Example
+
+`WEBHOOK_URI='https://canary.discordapp.com/api/webhooks/whatever' GITHUB_SECRET='whatever' VHOST='whatever.wherever.com' PORT=6666 npm run start`
