Show HN: Malai – Share your dev server (and more) over P2P

9 pointsby amitu20 days ago
We built Malai to make it dead simple to share your local development server over peer-to-peer, without setting up tunnels, dealing with firewalls, or relying on cloud services.<p>With one command, you can expose a local HTTP or TCP (coming soon) service to the world.<p>It&#x27;s built on the iroh P2P stack, and works out of the box with end-to-end encryption and zero config.<p><pre><code> $ malai http 3000 --public Malai: Sharing http:&#x2F;&#x2F;127.0.0.1:3000 at https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubqaksutn9im0ncln2bki3i8diekh3sr4vp94o2cg1agjrb8dhg.kulfi.site To avoid the public proxy, run your own with: `malai http-bridge` Or use: `malai browse kulfi:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubqaksutn9im0ncln2bki3i8diekh3sr4vp94o2cg1agjrb8dhg` </code></pre> This shares <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;localhost:3000&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;localhost:3000&#x2F;</a> over a secure URL. No signup, no accounts, and you can self-host your own http bridge if you want.<p>It’s open-source, and we’re working on native SSH support, sharing folders and, fine-grained access control next.<p>GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kulfi-project&#x2F;kulfi">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kulfi-project&#x2F;kulfi</a> (star us!)<p>Would love feedback, questions, or ideas — thanks!

So this is like a privater peer to peer version of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pinggy.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pinggy.io</a> ? Looks great.<p>Although pinggy has option to whitelist ip or use an api key for authenticated access.<p>This is somewhat similar to wireguard like setup - but just for http.

Looks pretty neat! I love the use of &#x27;malai&#x27; and &#x27;kulfi&#x27; as project names. I have used ngrok, how is this different&#x2F;better?

Looks interesting. May be I can use this to share my vibe-coded projects. Why does this need to be P2P?
