One command to share your localhost on your own domain use CF Tunnels TL;DR: moley tunnel run → localhost:3000 is instantly live at https://api.yourdomain.com.

The problem:

Ngrok/localtunnel give you random URLs that expire.

Paid tiers kick in fast if you want custom domains or longer sessions.

Cloudflare Tunnels are free but annoying to set up manually.

Moley fixes all of this with one simple command.

Perfect for:

API development

Hackathon demos

Webhook testing

Client presentations

Team collaboration

Key features:

Your own domain (no random subdomains)

Multiple apps on different ports

Configurable environments (--config production.yml)

Clean shutdown on Ctrl+C

Built on Cloudflare infra → fast, free, no limits

Setup (2 min):

brew install --cask stupside/tap/moley cloudflared tunnel login moley config set --cloudflare.token="your-token" Example config:

ingress: zone: "moley.dev" apps: - target: { port: 3000, hostname: "localhost" } expose: { subdomain: "api" } - target: { port: 8080, hostname: "localhost" } expose: { subdomain: "app" } Result → https://api.mycompany.com → localhost:3000 https://app.mycompany.com → localhost:8080
