Currently trying to get my flask app to connect to my pythonanywhere web-app. I want to use the free domain ngrok provides in order to connect the 2 however I'm finding conflicting information on how to setup my YAML config file.
This version while does work , doesn't use the domain name as the endpoint.
version: 2
authtoken: [Redacted]
tunnels:
my_tunnel_name:
proto: http
addr: 6666
hostname: [Free Ngrok domain name]
This is the config file ngrok suggests.
version: 2
authtoken: [Redacted]
tunnels:
my_tunnel_name:
labels:
- edge=[edge label]
addr: http://localhost:666
When i try this way it runs also but still with a temp. ngrok url. Additionally the dashboard states the following message: "No tunnels with labels matching edge=[edge label] are online." which is obviously not the case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated XD
For the ngrok url to be the free domain instead of a temporary url.
Ensure that you have created in the Ngrok dashboard, your free domain.
Then edit ngrok.yml for the tunnel following the documented configuration option
to open a tunnel to the host on port 6666.
version: "2"
authtoken: <redacted>
tunnels:
my-tunnel-name:
proto: http
addr: 0.0.0.0:6666
inspect: false
domain: xxxxx.ngrok-free.app
Finally, start the tunnel with the terminal command:
ngrok start my-tunnel-name --config ngrok.yml
