Ngrok

Ngrok is a useful tool for making your local Totara site accessible publicly on the web. This is very useful when testing intergrations with Totara, such as the mobile app, or external services such as Microsoft Teams, LinkedIn Learning, or even if you simply want to make your site available for someone else to look at.

You will first need to sign up for an account, and then install and authenticate ngrok on your machine. You will also need to make sure that the ngrok command can be run normally - this may require adding your ngrok installation directory to your $PATH variable.

Once ngrok is set up, you can use the tngrok command to use it with Totara.

If you have multiple sites set up, you will need to add entries into your /etc/hosts file, for each Totara host such as totara73 that you wish to use, you will need to add one with your desired site as the subdomain, like yoursite.totara73.
