Background service and dashboard

Run in the background

Install a service that runs any dockhive command at login. Everything after -- is the command it runs:

dockhive service install -- expose 3000 --name my-app

dockhive service uninstall

• macOS: a launchd agent; logs in ~/Library/Application Support/dockhive/service.log.
• Linux: a systemd user unit; follow logs with journalctl --user -u dockhive-tunnel -f. Run loginctl enable-linger $USER to keep it running after you log out.
• Windows: a scheduled task that starts at logon.

Sign in first: the service uses your stored sign-in (or put DOCKHIVE_TOKEN in the unit’s environment on servers).

Local dashboard

While dockhive expose runs, open http://localhost:4040 to see:

• who you’re signed in as,
• your tunnels with their public URLs, with copy buttons,
• a live log of requests: method, path, status, duration and size (bodies are never recorded),
• data in and out.

The dashboard only answers on your own computer. Change its port with --dashboard-port or turn it off with --no-dashboard.

Your tunnels also appear in the console under Tunnels.
