Ngrok Webhookify Plugin

This plugin lets you open ngrok tunnels on your computer with webhooks.

Installation

Install the plugin globally by running

npm i -g whfp-ngrok --unsafe-perm

You can try installing without --unsafe-perm, but it is usually required for global installations, since the ngrok module downloads a binary.

Configuration

The plugin needs a pre-defined list of tunnel configurations, which are passed to the ngrok connect function as-is. Valid configuration keys are documented here. Global configuration keys, which are valid for all connections (but can be overridden), can also be specified.

Example:

{
    "global": {
        ...
    },
    "tunnels": {
        "tunnel1": {
            ...
        },
        "ssh": {
            ...
        },
        "minecraft": {
            ...
        }
    }
}

Controlling tunnels

Tunnels can be opened or closed by sending an object like this:

{ "action": "open|close", "tunnel": "tunnel name" }

If the tunnel is open or closed already, the request is simply ignored.

Getting tunnel addresses

If you perform a GET request on the endpoint you get an object which contains the status of all configured tunnels:

{
    "tunnels": {
        "tunnel1": "closed",
        "ssh": "tcp://0.tcp.ngrok.io:11111",
        ...
    }
}
