opengrok VS sish

[4] is not really a usable 'product'. Livegrep (https://github.com/livegrep/livegrep) was inspired by it and is very usable.

[3] used to be a Google open source project as well, but it fell out of maintenance, and Sourcegraph took it over. It powers most of the basic regex/literal search in Sourcegraph.

Mozilla's code is searchable in Searchfox (https://searchfox.org/) which uses the indexer from Livegrep, combined with their own Git indexer and language-specific cross reference databases.

OpenGrok (https://github.com/oracle/opengrok) is also rather well known, but I have found it to have a slightly worse UI than alternatives.

My job uses https://oracle.github.io/opengrok/ and I'm generally happy with it. It has some problems with special character searches at times but generally does what I want. It's certainly better than code search in our on-prem github instance.

I used it a long time ago, but I see this is still around: https://oracle.github.io/opengrok/

You've never come across https://github.com/oracle/opengrok for example?

sish - Open source ngrok/serveo alternative. SSH-based but uses a custom server written in Go. Supports WebSocket tunneling.

sish uses ssh tunneling that you can read about in their docs: https://ssi.sh/

Tunneling services can be considered as a solution in some cases. Services like ngrok, frp, localtunnel and sish create a public endpoint that tunnels communication to your local endpoint via a tunnel client.

My favourite one is https://github.com/antoniomika/sish

It uses SSH as the method of opening the remote tunnel to the public server.

Why not forget about Cloudflare and a VPN but get a 3 euro Hetzner server and install https://github.com/antoniomika/sish for dynamic DNS through SSH + Traefik with a DNS resolver and have yourself a wildcard certificate. This way you can host any service from home as long as you run a port forwarding service through SSH with a one liner on Ubuntu. Better yet make an alpine docker image with a command to route traffic to your local service for even more isolation. 😘

Personally I’ve been using sish[1] recently, lots of ngrok alternatives out there now, especially as the pricing went a bit weird

i used to use a similar tool called inlets but they removed the open licensing. i now self host a sish server (https://github.com/antoniomika/sish) which also uses ssh for the reverse tunnel client. so much simpler!

- Sish : Because I don't want to pay for ngrok anymore (https://github.com/antoniomika/sish)

They could create a tunneled connection. Take a look at ngrok.io or ssi.sh
