SirTunnel is a minimal, self-hosted, zero-configuration alternative to ngrok built on Caddy, OpenSSH, and a 50-line Python script. It exposes local web servers via secure public HTTPS URLs using standard SSH remote tunnels with automatic certificate management.

Use cases

• expose a local dev server via a public https url
• self-hosted ngrok alternative for webhooks
• share a localhost web app with teammates over the internet
• test webhook integrations against a local server
• demo a locally running website without deploying it
• securely tunnel a service behind a public domain with automatic tls

When to choose

• you already have a public server with SSH and want zero server-side configuration
• you want a minimal, auditable tunneling setup instead of a heavy tool
• you want automatic HTTPS certificates without extra setup
• you prefer using a standard SSH client with no special client software

When to avoid

• you want a hosted service with dashboards and team management
• you don't have your own public-facing server
• you need features like traffic inspection, access control, or multi-user accounts
• you need tunnels that survive client disconnects, since mappings are ephemeral
