Pinggy is the easiest way to get public URLs for your localhost. You can use it to quickly host a website from your laptop, receive webhooks, share files, connect to your Raspberry Pi, and more.
Follow the three simple steps to get started:
First you need to run the service you want to share in localhost. For example you may be using a webserver like Apache. Make sure your service is available in a localhost URL such as http://localhost:8080.
You can quickly launch such a server for testing purposes using Python: python3 -m http.server
.
This will start a server at http://localhost:8000.
ssh -p 443 -R0:localhost:8000 a.pinggy.io
Replace the port 8000
with the localhost port where your service is running.
The above command will provide you http and https URLs as follows:
// You can access local server via following URL(s):
http://fakqxzqrohxxx.a.pinggy.online
https://fakqxzqrohxxx.a.pinggy.online
You can access your localhost service using these URLs.
