Expose allows you to access local web applications (or any port) from the internet. Additionally, it provides a dashboard that enables you to inspect and replay HTTP requests made to your local applications. With this tool, you can easily share your locally hosted web applications with others for testing, collaboration, or demonstrations.

• Expose local web applications to the internet: The reverse proxy enables you to make your locally hosted web applications accessible from anywhere, without deploying them to a public server.

• Web dashboard for request inspection: The included web dashboard provides a user-friendly interface to inspect incoming requests, including request headers, parameters, and payloads.

• Request replay functionality: The dashboard also allows you to replay requests, making it convenient for testing and debugging purposes.

To get started with expose you will need a server accessible from internet. Expose is self-hosted only so that you are the only owner of your data.

First configure the server by following these steps:

1. Clone the repository on your server:

git clone https://github.com/armandmgt/expose

2. Configure the reverse proxy:

Create a conf/production.json file based on conf/default.json and specify the differents variables.

3. Start the reverse proxy:

docker-compose up -d
