I’ve found an excellent Docker image for ngrok (wernight/ngrok), tiny as I like and from now using it to handle this blog.
Links at Docker hub and Github.
Some handy snippets. Note, it’s possible to use docker-compose commands, i.e. to check tunnels curl $(docker-compose port ngrok 4040)/api/tunnels, but I’m using $(docker ps -l -q --filter "name=blog_ngrok") statement to identify container ID, as it works with both docker-compose “up” and “run” modes and with docker without using docker-compose.
- Logs
BLOG=$(docker ps -l -q --filter "name=blog_ngrok")
docker logs -f $BLOG
- Check open ngrok tunnels
BLOG=$(docker ps -l -q --filter "name=blog_ngrok")
curl $(docker port $BLOG 4040)/api/tunnels
- Open browser window with ngrok http console
BLOG=$(docker ps -l -q --filter "name=blog_ngrok")
open http://$(docker port $BLOG 4040)
It is how docker-compose file looks like for this Jekyll site:
