# Luzifer / expose
|
|
|
|
`expose` is a small CLI utility to control a running [ngrok 2](https://ngrok.com/) daemon.
|
|
|
|
## Use cases
|
|
|
|
- Quickly open a local port to demonstrate something to someone
|
|
```bash
|
|
# expose create 4000
|
|
Created tunnel to address "localhost:4000" with URL https://8d35e4bf.eu.ngrok.io
|
|
```
|
|
- Close that port again
|
|
```bash
|
|
# expose delete 4000
|
|
Successfully closed tunnel "expose_4000" to address "localhost:4000".
|
|
```
|
|
- Quickly share a folder with files through HTTP
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 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
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 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](https://ngrok.com/)
|
|
- 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](https://github.com/Luzifer/expose/releases/latest) of this tool
