Expose Localhost to the Internet in 5 Minutes (No Deploy, No Ports)
In this video I show how to expose a local app to a public HTTPS URL using Cloudflare Tunnel.
No VPS.
No deployment pipeline.
No inbound firewall ports.
The flow:
run the app locally
build and run Docker container
create Cloudflare Tunnel
map hostname to localhost
test public HTTPS URL
This is useful for:
demos
QA/testing
sharing local apps
temporary environments
debugging
Tools used:
Docker
Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared)
Linux / WSL
Bash
