The ngrok Docker Desktop Extension: instant endpoints for your local containers

The recently launched ngrok Docker Desktop Extension, now available in the Docker Extensions Marketplace, offers a graphical user interface to make containers publicly accessible, facilitating the testing and sharing of prototypes, APIs, and web applications. This extension allows users to create public endpoints for locally running containers with just a few clicks, and configurations are saved locally for easy reactivation. It incorporates ngrok's Traffic Policy, enabling users to enforce access controls and define routing behaviors based on various request attributes. The extension also automatically detects the protocol of the containerized application, configuring the appropriate endpoint whether it's HTTP, HTTPS, or TCP, with minimal manual setup required. For those integrating ngrok into workflows or CI pipelines, official Docker images of the ngrok agent are available for seamless integration. Users can install the extension from the Docker Desktop Marketplace, access source code on GitHub, and find additional documentation to aid in usage.
