2023-11-02T21:30:34.029Z: 2023-11-02T21:30:34Z INF Thank you for trying Cloudflare Tunnel. Doing so, without a Cloudflare account, is a quick way to experiment and try it out. However, be aware that
these account-less Tunnels have no uptime guarantee. If you intend to use Tunnels in production you should use a pre-created named tunnel by following: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps

It would be nice to have some docs on how to swap out cloudflare for ngrok. Supplying ngrok
--tunnel-urlto theshopify app devcommand doesn’t work. Can anyone shed some light on this and share their setup if you have a working example using ngrok?For those looking for a solution
Run this in one terminal window:
ngrok http 8081And then this in another:npx shopify app dev --tunnel-url=https://YOUR-TUNNEL-HERE.ngrok-free.app:8081/EDIT: Incorporated @isaacroldan’s shorter version instead of
ngrok http http://localhost:8081Ah, that’s great 😃 Since cloudflare is back up and we already discussed workarounds, i’m going to close this issue. If there are new tunneling problems please open a new one.
this worked, thank you!
