Public URLs

Every app gets a Wi-Fi URL when it deploys. One command adds a public HTTPS URL, with no port forwarding or router setup.

Three kinds of URL

Local URL: http://192.168.0.112:3000; Your Wi-Fi only
Quick link: https://shy-river-42.trycloudflare.com; Anywhere, but it can change
Your domain: https://api.example.com; Anywhere, and it never changes

Get a quick link

$ npx dukoi expose

Asking Cloudflare for a public URL…
✓ hono-api is public

  Public  https://shy-river-42.trycloudflare.com

It takes a few seconds and needs no account. The phone opens an outbound tunnel to Cloudflare, so it works behind CGNAT and home routers that block incoming connections.

Quick links are good for demos, testing and webhooks you can update. The URL changes whenever the tunnel restarts, and dukoi ps always shows the current one.

Turn it off

$ npx dukoi expose --off

The app goes back to Wi-Fi only. You can also change it on the phone: open the app and tap the edit icon next to its public link.
