serve-public
Advanced tools
Serve Public
Serve any folder on your device with a Public URL
Installation
Install serve-public with NPM.
Run npm install -g serve-public
Usage
Get a Public URL for any folder on your device with:
serve-public --path </path/to/your/folder>
You'll see output like
Local server listening on http://localhost:3000 # This is the port the server is listening to on localhost
http://cnrsqd-ip-157-211-241-249.tunnelmole.com is forwarding to localhost:3000 # A public, plain HTTP url for your folder
https://cnrsqd-ip-157-211-241-249.tunnelmole.com is forwarding to localhost:3000 # A public HTTPS url for your folder
How it works
serve-public uses Tunnelmole under the hood to get the Public URLs. It then starts a simple Express server with a couple of middlewares.
When you hit the public URL, the request is forwarded through the tunnelmole servers to your local client, then to the express server serving up your folder.
