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}
.
