ngrok

ngrok is a service that allows you to expose your local web server to anyone on the internet, without having to configure port forwarding or firewall rules. ngrok will even generate a URL for you to access your magicLAMP services from outside of your local network.

Exposing a site

ngrok is installed in the workspace container. To expose a website, type the following command. Replacing mysite.74.localhost with the magicLAMP URL that you want to expose.

ngrok http --host-header=mysite.74.localhost nginx:80

ngrox will then give you a public URL that will give you access to your local site from anywhere in the world.
