npm install alexa-home-server --save// index.js
require('alexa-home-server').start({
server_root: __dirname,
port: 4000
});$ node index.js
Listening on HTTP port 4000
Tunnel URL: https://czceoztype.localtunnel.meThis module accepts all options provided by alexa-app-server, with a few additions:
require('alexa-home-server').start({
// A string value requesting a specific subdomain on the proxy server. Note: You may not actually receive this name depending on availablily.
subdomain: 'some-subdomain',
// Proxy to this hostname instead of localhost. This will also cause the Host header to be re-written to this value in proxied requests.
localhost: 'localhost',
// A callback that is invoked after the network tunnel has been opened
onTunnelStart: function (tunnel) {
console.log('Tunnel URL: %s', tunnel.url);
},
// A callback that is invoked if an error occurs while opening a tunnel
onTunnelError: function (err) {
console.error('Tunnel Error: %s', err.message);
}
});
