Tunnels

Tunnels allow a space to access a service running on your local workstation. This requires the knot client to be installed on your computer, as it handles forwarding traffic from the remote space to a local port.

Setting Up a Tunnel

Step 1: Connect to the knot Server

  1. Open a terminal on your local workstation.

  2. Run the following command, replacing the URL with the address of your knot server:

    knot connect https://knot.internal:3000

Step 2: Create a Tunnel

To expose a service running on your local machine to a space, use the knot space tunnel command. For example, to expose Ollama running on local port 11434 to the space phptest, run:

knot space tunnel phptest 11434 11434
  • The first 11434 is the local port on your workstation.
  • The second 11434 is the port within the space.

Testing the Tunnel

  1. Open the web terminal of the space.

  2. Run the following command to test the connection:

    curl -s http://localhost:11434/api/tags | jq '.models[].name'

If the tunnel is working correctly, the list of available models will be displayed in the terminal.
