Production-ready controller for automatic service exposure
Expose any service with just one annotation:
simpletunnel.com/expose: "true"
Deploy with one command:
helm install simpletunnel ./chart
Pre-built images on Docker Hub:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: my-app
annotations:
simpletunnel.com/expose: "true" # Enable tunneling
simpletunnel.com/domain: "example.com" # Your domain
simpletunnel.com/use-root: "true" # Use root domain
simpletunnel.com/protocol: "http" # or "tcp"
spec:
selector:
app: my-app
ports:
- port: 80
# This will expose your service at https://example.com
# Without use-root: "true", it would use a random subdomain
# like https://nova-4823.simpletunnel.comThree simple steps to expose your local service
Start your local web server, API, database, or any TCP service on any port.
npm run dev # Port 3000
Run SimpleTunnel with your port number. Get instant HTTP and HTTPS URLs.
