I've got your list saved in my notes :) The main thing is many of these are, well, ngrok alternatives: put my localhost on the internet. I am looking for something that puts remote ports into my local machine, and in particular which don't require configuring network interfaces (insecure to do in Docker containers) and don't require a centralized control plane.
- apitman 3y agoAh interesting. What's a typical use case for something like this? I could probably thing of a couple but I'm curious what people actually use it for.
- CGamesPlay 3y agoDevcontainers in Docker. With Docker, you cannot add a port forward to an existing container; you have to rebuild the container. With devcontainers, this at a minimum requires a few minutes of rebuilding time (an excessive price to pay for changing a port forward).
- apitman 3y agoSo you have a devcontainer running on your local machine, and you start up a service inside it and want to access it from outside?
- CGamesPlay 3y agoYes, that's the gist, although to complicate things I actually have the devcontainer running on a remote machine. So to access it I use `ssh host docker exec -it container`, for example. This is a supported workflow for VSCode remote devcontainers, and I would like to see an open-source version of it.
