How can I set a fixed URL tunnel for a Shopify app with random port?

[nelos7]

Hi,

How can I get a fixed url tunnel for my shopify app (remix) for webhook, since we can't set a fixed port for the app.
Normally i would do it like this : "ngrok http PORT" but the port for the remix app is set randomly at each start

You could update the url and uses static url thru .toml config file.
[build]
automatically_update_urls_on_dev = true
Or

sudo npm run dev -- --tunnel-url https://<tunnel url>:<port>

hi @nelos7 

You can manually set the tunnel url using the --tunnel-url flag while running a Shopify app using the CLI. 
the command should look like this

shopify app dev --tunnel-url <tunnel-url>:<PORT> 

or if you're using the Shopify cli via npm then

npm run dev -- --tunnel-url <tunnel-url>:<PORT>

here the port is the port which is the port forwarding tool is listening to. (the you gave while running ngrok HTTP <PORT>)

Let's say you want to run your shopify app on port 6000 and you plan on connecting to it by visiting https://my-custom-tunnel.io in a browser. You can configure my-custom-tunnel.io to proxy the local port 6000 using nginx, etc. Here's how to set the shopify app's port:

shopify app dev --tunnel-url=https://my-custom-tunnel.io:6000

When the shopify command parses this tunnel-url, it will listen on the specified port.
