Localport


Proxy to local ports based on the hash of subdomains .
Localport is a little utility to assign TCP ports based on words, and then forward to them based on a subdomain name.
It is intended to solve the problem of having to come up with unique-yet-somehow-memorable local ports (8000, 8080, 8888, etc) for all your utilities and development projects running on localhost.
You start by computing a port:
$ localport myproject
18206
This will hash the word and use some of the bits of the hash to produce a (high) port number to use.
And then set up whatever script is launching your myproject service to use that port.
Next, you start the forwarding service:
$ localport --port 4040 &
Now the tricky part is to get a domain where all subdomains resolve to localhost. If you're using dnsmasq or a similar tool, you can use that. But even easier is just using one of the various 'real' domain names that are set up to resolve to 127.0.0.1. Two nice short ones are lvh.me and vcap.me.
Go to http://myproject.lvh.me:4040, and your request will be forwarded to your service.
To get rid of the ugly :4040 part, either run your proxy on port 80, if you don't already have something running there, or configure your webserver to forward the domain you're using to your proxy's port (make sure you also forward the Host header, so that the proxy can find out the subdomain you used). With NGINX, this worked:
server {
  server_name *.lvh.me;
  listen 127.0.0.1:80;

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:4040/;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
  }
}
The localport command (when used in server mode), support the following arguments:
--port PORT to set the port to listen on. Defaults to 8000.
--define NAME:PORT to explicitly set a port to forward to (rather than using the automatic hashing) for a given name.
