Setting Up Cloudflare Tunnel: A Modern Alternative to Ngrok

Learn how to securely expose your local services using Cloudflare Tunnel

Quick and Free Way to Share Your Local Docker Service with Clients

Ever been in that situation where you’ve built something cool in Docker and want to quickly show it to your client? Yeah, me too. Recently, I was wrapping up a database admin panel project and needed a way to let my client review it before the final deployment.

My go-to solution used to be Ngrok. It works, but the free tier gives you random URLs that look like 8f4d-192-158-1-38.ngrok.io. Not very professional when sending to clients, right? Plus, these URLs change every time you restart the tunnel.
