Quick start

01 Install the CLI

02 Open a tunnel to your app

burrowctl tunnel create --port 3000

Run your app first, swap 3000 for its port, and keep the terminal open. Your public link appears in the tunnel manager.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few details.

Read the docs
Do I need an account?

No. Burrow connects to burrow.mawa.dev by default. Install the CLI and create a tunnel — no account or API key needed.

Does my URL stay the same?

Each new tunnel gets a generated URL. Quick reconnects can preserve it, but longer interruptions may create a new one. Keep burrowctl running while you share your app.

Can I use my own server and domain?

Yes. Run burrowd with Redis, configure your domain with wildcard DNS and TLS, then point the same CLI at your server. Burrow is MIT-licensed.
