SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables you to easily expose local services, such as a dev server or webhook receiver, to the public internet using SSH tunnels via Pinggy, without the need for additional software installations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Zero-Install Tunnels: Utilizes the user's stock SSH client for quick and easy tunneling.
  • Public URLs: Generates a public HTTP/HTTPS URL to access the local service.
  • Use Case: Quickly share a local web service with a team member or client for review or collaboration without needing to set up a full server.

Quick Start

Run the command ssh -p 443 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o ServerAliveInterval=30 -R0:localhost:8000 [email protected] to create a tunnel to expose your local service on port 8000.
