Using the Routiq CLI
Everything you need to install Routiq, log in, and expose a local port to the internet — in about a minute.
1. Install
Install the CLI globally with npm.
$npm install -g routiq
2. Log in
Opens your dashboard to grab an API key — paste it back into the terminal when prompted.
$routiq login
3. Expose a port
Point Routiq at any local port to get a public HTTPS URL instantly.
$routiq http 3000
Need more than one port? Just list them:
$routiq http 3000 4000 5173
Each one gets its own tunnel URL, all shown side by side in the same live dashboard.
Tip — stop and restart on the same port within 24 hours and you get the same URL back, no need to re-share a link every time you restart your server.
