What Hacker News says

4 sources
Kulfi is a network (peer to peer) which support http/https even tcp can be sent over kulfi. Kulfi App is a web browser that talks kulfi protocol natively, so you can open kulfi://<id52> natively. malai is the server side part of this story, and can expose existing HTTP/TCP services over kulfi:// network. For DNS, here is my initial deign/thought: https://github.com/kulfi-project/kulfi/discussions/55 For access control, we are working on a "what-to-do" service, which is an bunch HTTP/JSON APIs, that will be called by the malai (which runs on your server, or even as part of Django/Node/Golang once we wrap malai as a cffi library, and write corresponding Python/Node etc packages). You will be able to write the what-to-do in any framework you like, and we will maintain a general purpose open source what-to-do service.

Show HN: Malai – securely share local TCP services (database/SSH) with others

malai is a peer to peer network, and is a dead simple to share your local development HTTP server, without setting up tunnels, dealing with firewalls, or relying on cloud services. In malai 0.2.5, we have added TCP support, which means you can expose any TCP service to others using malai, without opening the TCP service related port to Internet. With malai installed on both ends, any TCP service can be securely tunneled over it. It can be used to secure your SSH service, or securely share your database server. GitHub: https://github.com/kulfi-project/kulfi (star us!) Would love feedback, questions, or ideas — thanks! PS: We have also added `malai folder`, which lets you share (readonly) the content of a folder with others.

Show HN: Malai – Share your dev server (and more) over P2P

We built Malai to make it dead simple to share your local development server over peer-to-peer, without setting up tunnels, dealing with firewalls, or relying on cloud services. With one command, you can expose a local HTTP or TCP (coming soon) service to the world. It's built on the iroh P2P stack, and works out of the box with end-to-end encryption and zero config. $ malai http 3000 --public Malai: Sharing http://127.0.0.1:3000 at https://pubqaksutn9im0ncln2bki3i8diekh3sr4vp94o2cg1agjrb8dhg.kulfi.site To avoid the public proxy, run your own with: `malai http-bridge` Or use: `malai browse kulfi://pubqaksutn9im0ncln2bki3i8diekh3sr4vp94o2cg1agjrb8dhg` This shares http://localhost:3000/ over a secure URL. No signup, no accounts, and you can self-host your own http bridge if you want. It’s open-source, and we’re working
