Localhost accessible from anywhere?

Mike George · Oct 13, 2021

Hello,

I am using MAMP Pro on a Mac OS.

I have a static IP from my ISP. I own a domain that now points to that IP.

I have the localhost running through Mamp Pro, is it possible to make the localhost applications resolve/point to the domain so I can access them from anywhere (when MAMP is running)?

Not sure about mamp as I don’t use it. However, it is easy with docker, and even with nginx/apache without docker. For docker you will just need to expose the port (and make sure that you are not port blocked). Your service will be instantly available on ip: port.

I think you need your router to point to the IP of your device first, it's called port forwarding.
Then,
Docker+WordPress+Nginx Proxy Manager is the easiest route.

True. I assumed he used the internet line directly, which might not be the case for the most.

As for nginx proxy, you will need proxy_pass OP. Look into that too.
