tunnel -h

Default or local

Accessible on host system at default port, i.e., 9999; without credentials so it uses default credentials

tunnel

Authenticative

Accessible at default host & port, i.e., localhost:9999 but APIs will become accessible only using credentials

tunnel -i admin -c 123456

Custom host & port

Accessible on all systems over network at custom port

tunnel -u 192.168.0.100 -p 8080

Serve cross domain request

Serve cross-site incoming request from host system only

tunnel -x

Serve cross-site request from any systems

tunnel -x -u 192.168.0.100 -p 8080

Custom host & port

Serve along with static site at ./ location

tunnel -d

Serve along with static site at ./app location

tunnel -d=./app

API

The API Key can be generated using tunnel.genApiKey(username, password) that can be kept separate, so as to avoid disclosing the credentials.

Example: Basic

(function main() {
    console.log('main');
    let tunnel = new Tunnel();
    let failure = (options, status, error) => {
        console.log('[1] main.failure', status, error);
    };
    tunnel.login('admin', '123456');
    tunnel.authenticate((result) => {
        console.log('[1] main.authenticate.success', result);
        tunnel.terminal('ls', (result) => {
            console.log('[2] main.terminal.success', result);
        }, failure);
    }, failure);
}());

Development

Compile/Run

To directly compile and run the source code,

cd tunnel
go run tunnel.go 

it will start the tunnel

Build

cd tunnel
go build tunnel.go

it will create the tunnel executable file for current OS

Cross-build

To build the cross-platform executable from source code,

on macOS,

cd tunnel
sh build.sh

on Windows,

cd tunnel
build.bat

it will generate the tunnel executable files for all supported OS

Testing

The APIs can be tested using python3 on command-line or using an standalone html page at browser that is being served via default embedded static web server in the app.
