Another approach could be to use SSH port forwarding, like:
ssh -L localhost:8000:localhost:8000 [email protected]
and access elm-reactor at http://localhost:8000 on your machine, while
the above ssh session is up. This has the advantage of not exposing
elm-reactor to the world, and it works even if your home IP address
changes.
