Easy way to share localhost
Sometimes there are projects, looking at which the thought arises: why I did not guess to do this before? Something like this you might think about the Showoff.io service. For a web developer, this is a simple and convenient way to test a project on the web and show it to customers by sharing a local server through an SSH tunnel. Just install the program, run the show command with the port number ...
... and get a working URL like https: // you.showoff.io. It works even through NAT.
Five minutes of work is provided free of charge for demonstration purposes, further tariffs: $ 1 per day, $ 5 per month. When buying a monthly plan, you can even choose a permanent URL for your site, whereas for the rest it is generated randomly every 5 minutes or 24 hours.
Great startup, don't you think? Simple idea, good implementation. If it were not for the narrow focus on web developers, it could fly up like Dropbox, because the idea is basically the same - here you can also share your files through a unique URL and send this URL to anyone.
')
For those who are interested in the idea, but do not want to pay - you can look at a similar localtunnel project on github, which is slightly inferior in functionality, but open source (MIT license).
Another similar project is PageKite (they give 2.5 GB for free, and then $ 1.50 per gigabyte).
UPD. As always, the best advice is in the comments . Recommend proxylocal gem . In addition, it is absolutely free, with open source , so also the author is on Habré ( justlest ).
