.NET implementation of localtunnel/server

Open angelobreuer opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Hello localtunnel-Team,

I am the owner of the .NET client implementation of localtunnel/client (https://github.com/angelobreuer/localtunnel-client).

Today, I've got a request for a .NET-based implementation of the localtunnel server, and one another before. The current implementation does not seem to be actively maintained. There seem to be some benefits when implementing localtunnel server in .NET:

  • Making use of the better threading capabilities in .NET to offer high throughput.
  • ~~WebSocket support (although this can be achieved in JS, it seems that no plans are there to implement this)~~
  • Better interoperability with .NET server applications

I ask here because I want to know if the project owners would welcome a .NET implementation.

Thank you.

Hi @angelobreuer. Indeed the project is not actively maintained - tho I think @TheBoroer keeps the site going. If you want to write a .net server implementation we'd be happy to reference it on the README or the homepage.

I really commend @angelobreuer for the .NET implementation, there are not many open source local tunnelling implementations in the wild and it will only add value for everyone.

I still think that this NodeJS project can still be revived and mantained if more people devote time and resources to it. @defunctzombie, @angelobreuer, there are several PR's that can be merged with valuable functionality. I see people running forks of this repo but none of them ended up publishing NPM packages / docker images for reuse by the community. I would love to see this project revived instead of forking it, could we possibly talk about adding new maintainers? I'm willing to put the work in.
