DockHive Tunnel

DockHive Tunnel puts an app running on your computer on the internet at https://<name>.dockhive.live, through your DockHive account. Install the dockhive CLI, sign in, and expose a port:

Terminal window
dockhive login
dockhive expose 3000

The CLI prints your public address and starts a local dashboard:

Forwarding https://brave-otter-7k2p.dockhive.live -> http://localhost:3000
Region eu
Dashboard: http://127.0.0.1:4040

HTTPS, WebSockets, server-sent events, streaming responses and large uploads all work. The CLI opens one outbound connection to the DockHive edge, so nothing on your computer listens on a public port: no port forwarding and no public IP needed. If your network drops, the tunnel reconnects by itself and keeps the same URL.
