Using ngrok to access multiple homestead sites remotely

ngrok can be used to provide access to a local homestead or vagrant site remotely i.e. to a client.

You need to use header rewriting to work with the homestead configuration, the syntax for using a single site looks like:

ngrok http -host-header=rewrite mysite.app:80

If you have multiple sites then you will need to use ngrok with a config file, stored in ~/.ngrox.config.yml. The docs are vague on how to do the rewriting in the config file so here it is for reference:

tunnels:
    mysite:
        addr: mysite.app:80
        proto: http
        host_header: rewrite
    myapi:
        addr: myapi.app:80
        proto: http
        host_header: rewrite

Note that host header rewriting doesn’t work nicely with cookies which seriously limits this.
