Alternatives to ngrok for n8n in Docker

Hey WebNutch community, I'm looking for a reliable way to expose my n8n instance running in Docker for production use. Currently, I'm using ngrok, but I'm running into issues with its limits. Are there any free alternatives that can provide a more stable and unlimited tunneling experience? I'd love to hear about your experiences and recommendations for ngrok alternatives that work seamlessly with n8n in Docker. Let's discuss this in the comments below. Perhaps we can even find a solution in the WebNutch marketplace that meets our needs.

I'm using ngrok alternative called expose. It's been working well so far, but I'm curious about localhost.run. How did you set it up with n8n in Docker?

I've had good experience with localhost.run. It's free and has been stable for my n8n workflows. Have you considered it?

To answer your question about localhost.run, I used the Docker image from their GitHub page and configured it with environment variables. There's a good example in the n8n docs too. I can share the exact config if you'd like

For production use, you might want to consider a self-hosted solution like Cloudflare Tunnel. It's more involved to set up, but provides a high degree of control and security. Anyone have experience with this?
