portless

Access local development servers without memorizing port numbers by using named, portless .localhost URLs. This approach replaces raw ports with stable, memorable domains, streamlining your workflow and preventing port conflicts across different services.

Managing multiple local dev server URLs in a monorepo is best handled by assigning custom, conflict-free domains like myapp.localhost or api.myapp.localhost. This ensures consistent, memorable access across team environments without manual port configuration.

Yes, you can share your localhost development server over a public network or Tailscale. The proxying mechanism supports sharing local dev URLs via Tailscale or the public internet, allowing external access to your local environment.

Yes, the portless proxy supports TLS and LAN mode for local development. It automatically handles proxying dev servers, TLS configuration, and LAN mode access without requiring manual setup for each service.

Set up custom local domains for development automation scripts by running your dev server with the portless proxy. It provides predictable, named URLs that automation scripts can reliably target, eliminating hardcoded port dependencies.

Port conflicts occur when multiple local development servers attempt to use the same port simultaneously. Using named, portless .localhost URLs resolves this by routing traffic via a proxy, eliminating the need to manage raw port assignments manually.
