I've almost got NGrok working with POW, but it is resolving to the POW without drilling down to the application running on POW.
I can access my local application running on POW at:
myapp.dev
However when I initialize Ngrok:
/Applications/ngrok -subdomain=myapp myapp.dev:80
As outlined here, I receive the following output from NGrok:
Tunnel Status online
Version 1.6/1.5
Forwarding http://myapp.ngrok.com -> 127.0.0.1:80
Forwarding https://myapp.ngrok.com -> 127.0.0.1:80
Web Interface 127.0.0.1:4040
# Conn 0
Avg Conn Time 0.00ms
Loading http://myapp.ngrok.comresolves to POW, but I get the generic message:
Pow is installed
You’re running version 0.4.1
How can I setup NGrok to resolve to my .dev domain?
Might be a bit late to the party, but here it goes.
It seems like you need to modify your Host header.
For example:
ngrok http -host-header=myapp.dev mayapp.dev:80
This answer only works with ngrok v2.
More info can be found at https://ngrok.com/docs#http
I was using the Powder gem and doing "powder restart", which only works for the local site. You might need to restart pow as described in the manual: http://pow.cx/manual.html#section_3.3

I'm attempting to enable SSL on hiveserver2.
I can run in the default binary mode fine. http mode works no problem. As soon as I enable SSL through hive-site.xml, i'm faced with the following error.
ERROR [Thread-28] thrift.ThriftCLIService: Error starting HiveServer2: could not start ThriftHttpCLIService
java.net.BindException: Address already in use
There is nothing using any of the ports, prior to starting hiveserver2. Checked with netstat -tupln
Ports i've configured in hive-site.xml are
hive.server2.webui.port 11002
hive.server2.thrift.http.port 11001
hive.server2.thrift.port 11000
and invoking hiveserver2 via the service /opt/hive/bin/hive --service hiveserver2 &
O/S ubuntu (on kubernetes)
Hive version 3.0.0
Any help greatly appreciate. Google search for problems with ThriftHTTPCliService came up short.
For anyone that come across this post.
I upgraded to Hive 3.1.0, along with the metastore schema.
This fixed the issue, although unsure as to the underlying cause.
I am trying to setup ngrok on my homestead, but it is not opening my project.
I have run ngrok http 80 and copied the address in forwarding part of the output to my Homestead.yaml file to map it to my project, and ran vagrant provision after that:
Forwarding http://92832de0.ngrok.io -> localhost:80
Forwarding https://92832de0.ngrok.io -> localhost:80
But when I open the http://92832de0.ngrok.io in the browser it opens up ngrok page "It works" and not my project.
When I have changed the port to ngrok http 8000 then I get Laravel error message:
Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
You can use any of your application which is in homestead.
For that, you need to run the below command by replacing 'your-site.app:8000'
ngrok http -host-header=rewrite your-site.app:8000
Before that, you need to register into ngrok and install ngrok then use the authtoken that given in your account.
For more details, refer this https://ngrok.com/docs
This is how It worked for me:
1) I have downloaded the ngrok (https://ngrok.com/) on my Windows host machine and executed ngrok.exe.
It has opened a command line interface for me
2) I typed the following
ngrok.exe http 192.168.10.10 -host-header=homestead.test
And it gave me the link of where to go:
Forwarding http://123456.ngrok.io -> http://192.168.10.10:80
Forwarding https://123456.ngrok.io -> http://192.168.10.10:80
I just went there ans saw my local environment Laravel Project.
You can add a function like this to your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile script on the host machine:
rock(){
ngrok http 192.168.10.10:80 -host-header=$1
}
After that you can use it to proxify any site on your Homestead machine like this:
rock your-site.app:8000
If you have multiple sites on your homestead you have to:
ssh into your homestead.
run this command: share yoursite.test
and that's it.
In homestead ngrok is already installed by default,
You just need to create an account from ngrok at https://dashboard.ngrok.com/signup
And then run:
vagrant up (in folder Homestead)
vagrant ssh
cd to/your/project/proyect
ngrok authtoken your__ngrok__account___token
share yourproject.test
I am working on facebook messenger.
Facebook app only accept one url for webhook but ngrock is generating new URL every time. Now I am unable to test my app because of webhook URL changed.
UPDATE May 2020
Serveo is up and running again! No installation, no signup!
All you need to do is to run this:
ssh -R <unique subdomain>:80:<your local host>:<your local port> serveo.net
like
ssh -R youruniquesubdomain:80:localhost:8000 serveo.net
UPDATE January 2020
Since there are some issues with Serveo and localtunnel, I want to share with you another free ssh-based self-hosting service: Localhost.run
Unfortunately, it does not provide unique subdomains but it is ssh-based so you do not have to install additional applications. Still waiting for Serveo coming back.
UPDATE April 2018
I've found Serveo just now! And it is totally incredible!
UPDATE November 2017
Probably, it is not the best option for you but I started using localtunnel instead of ngrok.
An installation and run flow is very simple:
npm install -g localtunnel
lt --port <your localhost port> --subdomain youruniquesubdomain
Then I can go to my http://youruniquesubdomain.localtunnel.me
That's it!
No more free subdomain support from ngrok.....pls have a error as below
Tunnel session failed: Only paid plans may bind custom subdomains.
Failed to bind the custom subdomain 'arvindpattartestfb.ngrok.io' for the account 'arvccccc'.
This account is on the 'Free' plan.
Upgrade to a paid plan at: https://dashboard.ngrok.com/billing/plan
ERR_NGROK_313
You need to set up auth token. You can find it here https://dashboard.ngrok.com/auth. (W̶o̶r̶k̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶f̶r̶e̶e̶ ̶v̶e̶r̶s̶i̶o̶n̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶ ̶n̶e̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶a̶y̶ it's now paid feature, see ngrok pricing).
Then you can use it like this:
ngrok http 80 --subdomain yoursubdomain
Neither localtunnel.me or Serveo are working for me right now so I created a temporary solution that works for some use-cases including mine (react-native local development): using the ngrok npm package one can save the generated ngrok url into a json file, and that file can be read for any other app.
First make sure to install ngrok using npm install ngrok then use this node script:
const ngrok = require('ngrok');
const fs = require('fs').promises;
(async function() {
const url = await ngrok.connect(3000);
const api = ngrok.getApi();
let data = await api.get('api/tunnels');
data = JSON.parse(data);
let dict = {'domain': data.tunnels[0].public_url}
await fs.writeFile("config.json", JSON.stringify(dict));
console.log("saved " + data.tunnels[0].public_url);
})();
Then from your app you may read it using code similar or equal to:
const backend = require('./config.json').domain;
For DHIS2 local installation, I did this on the terminal on ubuntu server.
Make sure your web is running on the specified port. Mine was on 8080.
ssh -R dani.serveo.net:80:localhost:8080 serveo.net
The beauty of this serveo.net is you can reuse the same hostname prefix url before serveo.net as many time as you want, even if power goes off or internet diconnection.
Staqlab tunnel is providing domain for free. Its works great but need a binary to be downloaded from there website. Using this service for month without any hassle
In 2022 (almost 2023) pagekite.me works for me.
It is very similar to ngrok, and requires the installation of pagekite.py (and, obviously Python).
After installation click on pagekite.py opens pagekite shell.
Run command: 8080 subdomain.pagekite.me
I noticed that no one mentioned how to have static ngrok urls, which was the main question about.
A way to do it is to edit the ngrok.yml file, which is located at
Linux: "~/.config/ngrok/ngrok.yml"
MacOS (Darwin): "~/Library/Application Support/ngrok/ngrok.yml"
Windows: "%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\ngrok\ngrok.yml"
You can have content such as:
version: "2"
authtoken: valid_auth_token
tunnels:
first-app:
addr: 3000
proto: http
hostname: yourfixedngrok_id1.ngrok.io
second-app:
addr: 8000
proto: http
hostname: yourfixedngrok_id2.ngrok.io
This will help you expose multiple ports, and have a persisted url for each of which based on the value you set for hostnames.
After that, you run your ngrok using this command:
ngrok start --all
Though its not a solution but take it as workaround, I had the same problem while testing. What i did is keep the ngrok running with my http port, so my ngrok url is not changing. but I frequently changing and restarting my server for testing and debugging.
I have Gitlab 8.6 running on an Ubuntu 14.04 server that seems to have gotten messed up. I consistently get a 502 error when accessing the site. The server likely has not been restarted since installing Gitlab initially, and a power outage caused the server to reboot. Now, I cannot start/restart Gitlab due to what appears to be port conflicts.
I installed Gitlab via source, I don't have any custom port configurations, and am using NGINX. nginx -t shows that the configuration appears to be correct syntax-wise.
When I run netstat -tupln, I see that Unicorn & a Gitlab instance is already running on :8080 and :80 respectively at boot up. I suspect that a 2nd instance of Gitlab was installed which is being run at boot and that is causing the proper instance to have port conflicts when I try to run it via service gitlab restart. I'm not even sure if that's possible, but I can't seem to figure out where to go from here. Every time I run sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure or service gitlab start, it fails and the unicorn.stderror.log shows bind errors to the :8080 port. I tried moving the Unicorn service to :8081 as well, but I still receive the port binding error.
Does anyone know how I can detect if there are multiple Gitlab instances running, and maybe if there is a way to remove a duplicated one if it's possible? Thank you!
EDIT: Here is what is in the /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file. Everything else is commented out.
## Url on which GitLab will be reachable
external_url 'http://my-gitlab-instance.domain.com'
EDIT 2: My /home/git/gitlab/ directory is mapped to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git, and is on the 8-7-stable branch. gitlab-shell and gitlab-workhorse are on the correct versions according to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/update/8.6-to-8.7.md
EDIT 3: I have gotten to a point where the Gitlab seems to self-check okay by removing the gitlab-ce package (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/135), but the server returns a 404. NGINX, Unicorn, Sidekiq, and gitlab-workhorse all say that they're running. I see that unicorn.rb is listening on :8080, and nginx is listening on 0.0.0.0:80 and :::80. I guess now I'm troubleshooting this 404 and hopefully I will be back to my install-from-source.
What I have found is that there were 2 issues causing the errors I had.
First, I removed a "gitlab-ce" package that was installed, following the instructions here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/135. For some reason, when I restart the machine now I have to restart these services, in order, for Gitlab to run properly redis-server, gitlab, nginx. However, Gitlab does start responding properly after that.
Second, the 404 error was due to a different server that was also listening on that IP address, causing a conflict.
I will likely move to using the omnibus package on a fresh, new server going forward, but at least the immediate issues appear resolved. Thanks for your help, SLY!
From previous versions of the question, there is this: Browse website with ip address rather than localhost, which outlines pretty much what I've done so far...I've got the local IP working. Then I found ngrok, and apparently I don't need to connect via the IP.
What I am trying to do is expose my website running on localhost to the internet. I found a tool that will do this: ngrok.
Running the website in visual studio, the website starts up on localhost/port#. I run the command "ngrok http port#" in the command line. Everything seems to start up fine. I generate a couple of URLs, and the ngrok inspection url (localhost:4040) works.
The only problem is that when I go to the generated URLs, I get an HTTP error 400: bad request invalid hostname. This is a different error than when I run "ngrok http wrongport#", which is a host not found error...so I think something good is happening. I just can't tell what...
Is there a step I am missing in exposing my site to the internet via the tunneling service? If there is, I can't find it in the ngrok documentation.
Troubleshot this issue with ngrok. In the words of inconshrevable, some applications get angry when they see a different host header than expected.
Running the following command should fix the problem:
ngrok http [port] --host-header="localhost:[port]"
Depending on the version, you may also want to try:
ngrok http [port] --host-header="localhost:[port]"
Following command will fix the issue
ngrok http -host-header=localhost 8080
This didn't work for me.
you could do the following:
For IIS Express
In VS 2015:
Go to the .vs\config\applicationhost.config folder in your project
In VS 2013 and earlier:
Go to %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config
Find the binding that says:
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:5219:localhost" />
For me it was a project running on port 5219
change it to
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:5219:" />
IIS Express will now accept all incoming connections on that port.
Disadvantage: you need to run IIS Express as admin.
or you could rewrite the host header in Ngrok:
ngrok.exe http -host-header=rewrite localhost:5219
For https this works:
ngrok http https://localhost:<PORT> --host-header="localhost:<PORT>"
UPDATED COMMAND FOR LATEST VERSION
Tested with: (Windows) (ngrok v3.0.5)
Use -- instead of -
ngrok http --host-header=localhost 8080
The simplest thing for me was using iisexpress-proxy + ngrok.
First I install iisexpress-proxy globally with npm
npm install -g iisexpress-proxy
Then I proxy my localhost with it. Say for instance my site is running on 3003.
iisexpress-proxy 3003 to 12345 where 12345 is the new http port I want to proxy to.
Then I can run ngrok on it.
./ngrok.exe http 12345
It just works! 😃
But I think it works only with http. Right now I don't use https to test, but even if it works, usually it's a lot of work as always.
For https this works:
ngrok http https://localhost:<PORT> --host-header="localhost:<PORT>"
Try with different locations from the Global infrastructure > Locations
ngrok http -region eu 8080
You can make a request and view any traffic passing through your tunnel using the ngrok traffic inspector at http://localhost:4040.
OR in command line
ngrok http -region eu 8080 --log=stdout
If one region fails then try with another.
ngrok runs tunnel servers in datacenters around the world. The location of the datacenter within a given region may change without notice (e.g. the European servers may move from Frankfurt to London).
us - United States (Ohio)
eu - Europe (Frankfurt)
ap - Asia/Pacific (Singapore)
au - Australia (Sydney)
sa - South America (Sao Paulo)
jp - Japan (Tokyo)
in - India (Mumbai)
First open ngrok configuration YAML file, run from terminal:
ngrok config edit
Example of yaml for localhost setup (client & server):
version: "2"
authtoken: {YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN_FROM_NGROK_WEBSITE}
tunnels:
client:
addr: 3000
proto: http
host_header: localhost
server:
addr: 4000
proto: http
host_header: localhost
Save the config file based on your client and server ports and run the following command:
ngrok start --all
This will make ngrok open a tunnel for all the configurations declared in the yaml file
Had IIS Express .net web API, had installed NGROK in docker (windows as a host)
Had "Bad Request" error, the next command worked for me:
docker run -it -e NGROK_AUTHTOKEN=<token> ngrok/ngrok --host-header=localhost:21852 http host.docker.internal:21852
As I understood later, --host-header needed because IIS Express refuses all requests from outside (must be "localhost:port
"), host.docker.internal I've used instead of localhost, because NGROK was running inside docker, while IIS Express was running on a windows host.
I had the same issue and used the following solution:
Make sure your application binding in your IIS is set to All Unassigned IP address
Run ngrok HTTP 127.0.0.1:173 --region=eu --hostname=yourcustomdomain.eu.ngrok.io
That's it. Works perfectly. This solution is also for paid pro accounts
Steps.
Run command on your console from ngrok.exe directory . ngrok http
port i.e ngrok http 80 https://www.screencast.com/t/oyuEPlR6Z Set
Ngrok url to your app .
It will create a tunnel to your application.
Thanks .
