Localdock provides a simple solution for accessing local projects with a real HTTPS link. It allows you to share your development environment without any installation required on the client side. With a one-time payment of $9, you can manage your projects easily and access them from anywhere, even on mobile devices.
A great tool for developers needing easy access to local projects!

genuine question since I already run ngrok for this - what does the $9 one-time buy you that a free ngrok/Tailscale Funnel tunnel doesn't? The "one name per project, no client install" framing is nice, but I'd need a concrete reason to switch from something I already have working before I'd pay for a new tool that does roughly the same job.

@galdayan can you tell me more about this solution? Maybe DM me?
@galdayan u are totally right, and it's not only about tunnels; now it has 3 core features
- persistent project link instead of localhost + port
- wifi sharing with persistent project link
- tunnel
I have a lot of plans for how it will be improved

@damienissa Appreciate the honest answer. The persistent-link-over-wifi-sharing angle is actually the part that sells it for me, not the tunnel itself - that's a real gap in the free tools I'm using now. Good luck with the roadmap.

What kind of network throughput do you provide?
Any bandwidth limits?
For example, I will run my own Netflix server through your service with pirated movies, any ideas how to catch guys like me?
@vladislav_razin it's a good use case. But the link is temporary and lives for no more than 1 hour.

@damienissa got it, I thought my link will be mine for a long time
I use tailscale for my lab, I have no static ip and it’s the only way to get home lab working

Do you keep connection data/logs?

@leroy_price Nope, localdock is not collecting any info.
