don't u see this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10590506/how-to-run-localtunnel-v2-properly

[mobeyond]

I'm using localtunnel v1. But I found that v2 allows you to customize the subdomain, and I need this feature.

I followed the tutorial described in the README from the repository, but it confused me in several parts and, in the end, it did not work.

First step is to run some web-app: checked, on port no. 8000.

Then, it says something about hostnames:

Localtunnel does some stuff with the hostname, so you want to set up two hostnames. One for localtunnel registration, one for your localtunnel. Normally it expects a wildcard, but we'll just hardcode a hostname for this example tunnel.

example.localtunnel.local -> 127.0.0.1
localtunnel.local -> 127.0.0.1

You can do this in /etc/hosts or use that fancy ghost utility.

I've got lost here, but still I edited my /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 my-pc-name
127.0.0.1 example.localtunnel.local
127.0.0.1 localtunnel.local
Next step...

Now you can start the server. It's based on a configuration file in the config directory. You can make your own, but this one is configured to run the server on port 9999 and expects the hostname localtunnel.local

ginkgo config/default.conf.py

Which one? Anyway... I created myconfig.conf.py based on the files in localtunnel repo's dir /deploy:

port = 9999
hostname = 'localtunnel.local'
service = 'localtunnel.server.TunnelBroker'
But, when I run:

lt --broker 127.0.0.1:9999 --name example 8000
I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):

And in the ginkgo process:

And, obviously, http://example.localtunnel.local:9999 does not work.

How to fix this? And where I have to modify to change the final subdomain?

I don't understand. Are you copying what was posted on stackoverflow? Did you post it on stackoverflow?

[mobeyond]

Yes, copied from stackoverflow, and failed in the same way here.

[jjmaestro]

Me too, BTW. Just tried following the instructions in the README to no avail. Will try googling more stuff and hopefully will get this to work, eventually.

The latest version should work pretty straightforwardly. See the latest README for details.
