(not working) How to expose a local server to the outside world via an EC2 server?
Raw
expose.sh
# Before: I have a local Java or Django server running on port 8000
function expose_port {
local_port=$1
shift
ssh -vvv -i "$HOME/.ssh/aws.pem" -N -R "9000:localhost:8000" "ubuntu@ec2-12-34-56-789.compute-1.amazonaws.com"
}
# After: Open http://ec2-12-34-56-789.compute-1.amazonaws.com:9000 and it should work
