Using NgRok to create a tunnel to local webserver

Setup

In development, a server is usually provided - something along the lines of http-server or the framework CLI development servers. This will usually be on port 8080 but may be on something different.

If a webserver isn't running, run one. If you don't have anything, install node and run

npm i -g http-server

to install http-server globally.

Installation

Install link:

Running the tunnel

The following will work for most cases:

ngrok http 8080

Notes

  • http is the protocol
  • 8080 is the port number

In some cases (ie when using the react or vue dev server), you may have to supply the host header.

ngrok http 8080 -host-header="localhost:8080"
