Hi, I'm Marcel, the developer behind Expose. Expose has been in the works for a couple of months now and I'm super excited to be able to share it with everyone now. It was a very exciting technical challenge to make all of this work in PHP - the main reason to use PHP as the language of choice was the ease of customization this brings and I can't wait to see what the community can come up with in ways that Expose can be extended and enhanced. You can self-host expose, but also use our own free server that we provide. If you want to learn more about Expose, be sure to check out the in-depth documentation at https://beyondco.de/docs/expose/...

@marcelpociot @nazmul_husain Hi Brad, the best way is to open an issue at GitHub if you have a technical question or connect on Twitter.

Looking to dockerize this at the moment so it's easy to run it self contained on a little mini home server, it's a shame SSL isn't baked directly as I've had a bit of pain setting up wildcard SSL certs with LetsEncrypt but beyond that it's fairly easy to work with.

@slyfirefox I thought about embedding SSL, but figured that maybe a lot of developers can just put this behind a reverse proxy. But I'd be open for a PR. There's already a PR that contains a Dockerfile: https://github.com/beyondcode/ex...

@marcelpociot interesting, the docker setup I was working on was to provide the SSL proxy as well as expose, possibly with a mechanism to automatically generate the wildcard SSL cert. That's where it generally gets complicated as such a certificate requires DNS verification and ideally an API to update the provider every time it's renewed.

@marcelpociot @slyfirefox I might write up an article on how I've done all of this. I've got Expose running on a cheap ol' VPS with wildcard SSL, reverse proxy & then supervisord on my home server to keep the tunnels open.

@marcelpociot @ryan_chandler thanks, I'd be interested in seeing your approach, I've got a similar setup working, I just wanted to polish it up so it's an easy setup to run a container and configure some paths to persist the database etc. It's a bit anal but I prefer to run containers on my home server so upgrading apps is less stressful when it comes to dependencies
