Expose Local Network

Sometimes you might need to connect to the backend from another computer, but you can't access on it for some reasons...

Here we provide you with some solutions that can unlock you

Using Ngrok 💡

Ngrok is a cross-platform application that exposes local server ports to the internet. you can find out more by visiting their official website.

Ok, that is a very powerful tool 🤯.

Of course, there are also other alternatives, but here we will focus on Ngrok

Download and Install ⚡

First, you must have an account (if you don't have one, create one). Then follow the steps mentioned on the setup page regarding your OS: https://dashboard.ngrok.com/get-started/setup

Expose local network 🌌

Now that everything is installed and after launching the Ever-demand server, you can now expose it.

Launch Ngrok, then run command ngrok http 8443 to expose your server

note that you expose localhost:8443 which is the default GraphQL port from Ever-Demand

After that, Ngrok will generate a unique URL exposing the server that you can connect to it from anywhere 😀
