I recently became aware of http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/share/, which enables:

HTTP sharing will create a URL that you can give to anyone. This URL will route directly into your Vagrant environment.

For those who are not familiar, Vagrant is a configuration abstraction on top of virtualisation software (VirtualBox, VMware, etc).

I would love to be able to do this on the OSX. I already have a running web server on port :8000 and I would like a service that would enable sharing access to this port through some sort of proxy/dynamic DNS service.

The prerequisites are:

  • I should not need to have a static IP.
  • I should not need to have a port mapping to my machine from the outside net.

What are the existing software/configuration/service solutions?
