Puts your local dev environment online with Vite HMR, Reverb websockets, and signed URLs all working through one tunnel, zero config. With this package installed, localhoist also stops touching your `.env` entirely. > Development happens in the [localhoist monorepo](https://github.com/xPapay/localhoist)(`packages/laravel`); this repository is a read-only split for Composer. Report issues there. Install ------- [](#install) ``` composer require --dev localhoist/laravel ``` If the package isn't on Packagist yet, install straight from the split repository: ``` composer config repositories.localhoist vcs https://github.com/xPapay/localhoist-laravel composer require --dev "localhoist/laravel:^0.1" ``` Hacking on the monorepo? Use a path repository instead: ``` composer config repositories.localhoist path /path/to/localhoist/packages/laravel composer require --dev "localhoist/laravel:*@dev" ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` php artisan share # Cloudflare quick tunnel — free, no account php artisan share --transport=ngrok # ngrok instead (needs an authtoken) php artisan share --domain=my-app.ngrok-free.dev # stable domain (implies ngrok) php artisan share --no-qr ``` The default transport is a Cloudflare quick tunnel: no account, no setup, a random `*.trycloudflare.com` URL per run. Prefer ngrok every time? Save it once — `localhoist config set transport ngrok` — and `php artisan share`picks it up. Which command? (it runs on your host) ------------------------------------- [](#which-command-it-runs-on-your-host) The tunnel always runs on your **host machine** — that's where your ports are published. `php artisan share` is just a launcher for the host binary, so it needs your PHP to be on the host too: Where your PHP runsRunOn the host`php artisan share`In a container`localhoist` on the host, from your project directory (install it via Homebrew or `go install`)When PHP is containerized, `artisan` runs *inside* the container and can't reach the host's published ports — so `php artisan share` detects this and **stops with the host command to run instead** rather than failing halfway. Have a non-standard setup that publishes ports differently? `php artisan share --force` runs it anyway. Zero `.env` mutation -------------------- [](#zero-env-mutation) The package ships a `TrustLocalhoistProxy` middleware, auto-registered in the `local` environment. The localhoist mux stamps every proxied request with an `X-Localhoist` marker; the middleware trusts the proxy only when the request comes from loopback **and** carries that marker. Laravel then derives scheme and host from the tunnel's `X-Forwarded-*` headers, so `url()`, `asset()`, redirects, and signed URLs are generated against the public https origin — with `.env` untouched. The binary detects this package in `composer.lock` (>= 0.2) and skips its `.env` patching automatically. Forwarded headers on requests without the marker are ignored, and nothing is trusted outside the `local` environment. Edge case: URLs generated outside a request (e.g. links in queued emails) still come from `APP_URL`. Run `php artisan share --env-patch` when you need those pointing at the tunnel. How it finds the binary ----------------------- [](#how-it-finds-the-binary) The command is a thin wrapper around the `localhoist` Go binary (tailwindcss-standalone pattern). Resolution order: 1. `LOCALHOIST_BINARY` environment variable 2. `localhoist` on your `PATH` 3. `~/.localhoist/bin/` cache 4. Downloaded from the matching GitHub release (first run only) Until binaries are published, build from source and use option 1 or 2: `go build ./cmd/localhoist`. ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 83% of packages Maintenance91 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity40 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
