Luzifer / expose

expose is a small CLI utility to control a running ngrok 2 daemon.

Use cases

  • Quickly open a local port to demonstrate something to someone
    # expose create 4000
    Created tunnel to address "localhost:4000" with URL https://8d35e4bf.eu.ngrok.io
    
  • Close that port again
    # expose delete 4000
    Successfully closed tunnel "expose_4000" to address "localhost:4000".
    
  • Quickly share a folder with files through HTTP
    # expose serve
    Created HTTP server for this directory with URL https://81e668af.eu.ngrok.io
    Press Ctrl+C to stop server and tunnel
    
  • List the active tunnels in a nice table
    # expose list
         NAME     | TYPE  |    ADDRESS     |          PUBLIC URL
    +-------------+-------+----------------+------------------------------+
      expose_3000 | https | localhost:3000 | https://9c8d36d6.eu.ngrok.io
    

How to set up

  • Download the latest release of ngrok 2
  • Configure ngrok (see the official documentation for that!)
    • For this to work you only need an authtoken set in ~/.ngrok2/ngrok.yml
  • Set it up to start automatically (see docs/ngrok.service for a systemd service file)
  • Download the latest release of this tool
