Sharing a port
Expose a port and reachpad mints a link to what this workspace is serving. Useful when an agent has built something you want to look at.
Expose a port
$ reachpad ports expose 3000 <id>$ reachpad ports list <id>$ reachpad ports revoke 3000 <id>
The port is the one your app is listening on inside the workspace. Every verb takes the port first and the workspace second, and the workspace can come from -w or REACHPAD_WORKSPACE instead. The same controls are on the workspace's page in your dashboard.
Re-running expose for a port that is already open returns the same link rather than a second one. list shows the open ports oldest first, with their links.
Who can open the link
Anyone signed in to reachpad who has the link can view it. It is not a private URL and it is not a secure link. It carries no port, no workspace id and no account name, which is all it does carry.
Treat it the way you would treat a preview deployment URL: fine for a demo, not a place to serve anything that must not be seen.
Closing one
ports revoke stops the link at the visitor's next request. Re-opening the same port later mints a new link: a closed one never comes back.
