lt: Specify the upstream server doing the forwarding.

$ lt --port ${8000} --host ${host}

try on your machine

This command is using the "lt" command line tool to create a tunnel to a specific port on a specified host.

The lt command stands for "localtunnel" and is commonly used to expose a local development or testing server to the internet. It allows you to securely share your local application with others, as if it were hosted on a remote server.

The --port flag specifies the port number you want to expose. In this case, it is set to ${8000}, which suggests that the port number is being retrieved from an environment variable or some other variable defined elsewhere in the code.

The --host flag specifies the hostname or IP address of the server to tunnel to. The value is set to ${host}, indicating that the host name is being provided from another source, such as a variable.

To summarize, the command is creating a tunnel using localtunnel, exposing the port ${8000} on the specified ${host}.
