valet: Running `valet share` throws an error `ERR_NGROK_4018`

on an M1 Mac the issue appears to be the ngrok-arm binary doing the following worked for me with no other changes to scripts/params required

cd ~/.composer/vendor/laravel/valet/bin/
mv ngrok-arm ngrok-arm.old
ln -s ngrok ngrok-arm

valet share works as expected after this

Another way to share valet sites using Ngrok that seems to work for me.

# Non SSL Site
ngrok http 127.0.0.1:80 -host-header="site.test"

# SSL Site
ngrok http 127.0.0.1:443 -host-header="ssl-site.test"

Though if we update this on valet core, this kinda breaks the fetch-share-url.sh script. Trying to figure out if we can make it work without breaking existing flows.

I can also reproduce it now btw. Taking another look later today.

For now, as a workaround what I do is run php artisan serve and then run

ngrok http {artisan server port} --hostname={ngrok custom hostname} --region={nearest region}

and this works perfectly.

Leading onto this, I’m getting this issue within my Laravel 9 app.

Failed to complete tunnel connection

The connection to https://<x>.ngrok.io/ was successfully tunneled to your ngrok client, but the client failed to establish a connection to the local address analyse.net.test:80.

Make sure that a web service is running on analyse.net.test:80 and that it is a valid address.

The error encountered was: dial tcp: lookup analyse.net.test on 194.168.4.100:53: no such host

Any reason why? I can connect to analyse.net.test locally.

@KevinSleegers Use Expose from BeyondCode in the meantime. Works also pretty well.

Hi - I was experiencing the same issues as @heychazza yesterday. I would share my local site and see the “Failed to complete tunnel connection” message.

I tried a few different things, but in the end I discovered this was due to the ‘ngrok-arm’ binary being used. If I modify the valet file on line 84 to use the regular ‘ngrok’ binary and re-share I experience no issue.

I can’t claim to know enough about why this would be the case. I am using an m1 mac, so my cli will return arm64.

If I can do anything to help investigate this issue further, then please let me know!

valet share works as expected after this

Based on this, what i did is just download the proper version from the ngrok site and replace it.

download from https://dashboard.ngrok.com/get-started/setup replace the downloaded version in ~/.composer/vendor/laravel/valet/bin/

and like it says, valet share works just fine after that.

(M1 mac here, download the arm64 version)

This worked for me https://github.com/laravel/valet/issues/904#issuecomment-985450483

Think I’m just gonna revert that separate binary PR. The OP might have been on an older ngrok version.

valet share works as expected after this

This is what I did and it worked for me

Completely uninstalled Valet, including deleting all brew files, the valet folder, etc, then installed again, running:

• valet link
• valet share

I’m still getting this error, so I’m assuming Ngrok had an update or something.
