Quickstart

First steps

Choose your onboarding path, get authenticated, and open your first tunnel.

On this page

Assuming you’ve already installed the CLI, here’s how to get a tunnel running.

Option 1: Let the CLI guide you

If you don’t have an account yet, just run:

tunnee start

The CLI walks you through account creation, email verification, and login - all in one go. You can also pass your email upfront to skip a prompt:

tunnee start --email you@example.com

Option 2: Do it yourself

If you’d rather run each step manually:

tunnee auth register --email you@example.com
tunnee auth confirm <code>
tunnee auth login --email you@example.com

Handy when you want to control the flow or repeat a specific step later.

Option 3: Already have an account?

Just log in:

tunnee auth login --email you@example.com

Leave out --email and the CLI will ask you for it interactively.

Open your first tunnel

Once you’re authenticated:

tunnee open --port 3000

Tunnee prints a public URL and starts forwarding traffic to your app. That’s it.

What next

  • tunnee open --subdomain demo --port 3000 - grab a custom subdomain
  • tunnee tunnels list - see your active and saved tunnels
  • tunnee config show - peek at your current profile and settings
