PHPNgk is a bash script that automates opening a file on a local PHP server and sharing it through Ngrok. Plus, it can create a QR of the Ngrok link using qrencode.
It's use is primary focused on students (like me) who are working with quick, regular assignments, which are being opened, closed and sended to revision through Ngrok on a daily basis.
Clone the repo, give execution permises (chmod +x setup.sh) and run setup.sh as sudo. At some point it will ask you to enter your Ngrok Authtoken (found in the ngrok website), paste it and you are ready to go.
If you don't want to copy the script to the $PATH (/usr/bin), comment the corresponding function at the end of the script.
Standard: pass a file as first arg to open it with local PHP on browser and port:
phpngk index.php
-n: turns on ngrok. The link generated is opened on browser, shown on console and copied to your clipboard.
-nq: turns on ngrok, show the link, copies it to your clipboard and generate a qr code in current dir. Automatically opened with feh.
-h | --help: shows this menu.
-c | --config: opens the script in nano.
Also:
- Default browser is Firefox. Google Chrome is also supported (comment and uncoment variable on script).
- Default PHP path is local (
phpcommand). - Default port to open PHP and Ngrok is 8080.
