How to secure a dev environment


I'm using PHP + LAMP container, and a Symfony2 app. I got my dev environment working but right now it has public access (anyone with the link). How can I secure the access to it? I was thinking maybe a ssh tunnel and allow access to the directory only through localhost, but I was wondering if there's a more simple way?

Thanks.


Solution

  • You can use the Nitrous desktop application to forward ports to your local computer, this is just like using a SSH tunnel but we are providing a useable GUI around it.
