Dogebox

As part of your pups manifest.json file, you can specify ports to expose.

Public TCP Ports

If you want your pup to be accessible on specific ports, you can specify them in the expose section of your manifest.

{
  ...,
  "exposes": [
    {
      "name": "my-port",
      "type": "tcp",
      "port": 8080,
      "listenOnHost": true
    }
  ]
}

This config makes your pup accessible on port 8080 of the host machine, specifically because we have set listenOnHost to true.

Setting this value to false will make the port accessible, but only when you explicitly hit the container that your pup is running in.

It should be obvious, but only a single pup can listen on a port at a time. There are also some reserved ports that cannot be used.

You are also able to set the webUI flag to true in your manifest, on an exposes entry.

If set, the Dogebox UI will display a button called Launch <name> where <name> is the name of the exposes entry.
