# dTunnel

## What is dTunnel

Have you heard about `Ngrok`? `Serveo`?

If you dont, these are services that give you a public url for your local app, help you expose your project to the world (internet) without deploying it. So simple and easy to use, right?

The cons of Ngrok or Serveo is that you dont have a static, fixed address (the address will change every time you open), otherwise has a time limit.

This project using `inlets` and `heroku` (you can use it with any of other cloud services) to let you have your own address and full control of your tunnel.

Special thanks to [inlets](https://github.com/inlets/inlets)'s devs for a fantastic project.

## Step to use

First you need a Heroku app, of course. Then clone this project.

Config name of the app, and the local port which you want to expose

```

export HEROKU_APP=

export LOCAL_PORT=

export TOKEN=$(head -c 16 /dev/urandom | shasum | cut -f1 -d" ")

```

Then using heroku to build your app

```

heroku login

heroku git:remote -a $HEROKU_APP

heroku config:set TOKEN=${TOKEN} --app $HEROKU_APP

heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/maximkulkin/heroku-buildpack-dummy.git

git push heroku master

```

You can restart your app in case of anything happenned

```

heroku restart web -a ${HEROKU_APP}

```

Then using your inlets binary which matches your operating system to run the client (can be downloaded from [here](https://github.com/inlets/inlets/releases)) (remember to make it executable first `chmod +x ./inlets`)

```

./inlets client \

  --remote wss://${HEROKU_APP}.herokuapp.com \

  --token $TOKEN \

  --upstream http://127.0.0.1:$LOCAL_PORT

```

## Demo

You can use my heroku app that i created [https://dtunnel.herokuapp.com/](https://dtunnel.herokuapp.com/):

```

export HEROKU_APP=dtunnel

export TOKEN=837861ba81915d3a65e58ecbd06bc2ac4d444cf0

```
