Show HN: Malai – Share your dev server (and more) over P2P

9 points

We built Malai to make it dead simple to share your local development server over peer-to-peer, without setting up tunnels, dealing with firewalls, or relying on cloud services.

With one command, you can expose a local HTTP or TCP (coming soon) service to the world.

It's built on the iroh P2P stack, and works out of the box with end-to-end encryption and zero config.

    $ malai http 3000 --public
    Malai: Sharing http://127.0.0.1:3000 at
    https://pubqaksutn9im0ncln2bki3i8diekh3sr4vp94o2cg1agjrb8dhg.kulfi.site
    To avoid the public proxy, run your own with: `malai http-bridge`

    Or use: `malai browse kulfi://pubqaksutn9im0ncln2bki3i8diekh3sr4vp94o2cg1agjrb8dhg`

This shares http://localhost:3000/ over a secure URL. No signup, no accounts, and you can self-host your own http bridge if you want.

It’s open-source, and we’re working on native SSH support, sharing folders and, fine-grained access control next.

Would love feedback, questions, or ideas — thanks!
