Expose my local rethinkdb to internet about rethinkdb HOT 4 CLOSED

You want random people on the internet be able to connect to your database directly? Or you want them to be able to connect to your backend?

Anyway, to allow direct DB access just open up ports in your firewall to allow driver connections on port 28015 and in case you are running cluster might need to open up 29015

In addition to what @McSneaky wrote, please read these:

Also, exposing your local machine's DB is risky from multiple perspectives. For example, although I'm not aware any vulnarabilities, you are risking that someone can access your computer through the DB.

Here is what I would do:

1. create a server on DigitalOcean (or somewhere else) and install rethinkdb
2. setup firewall rules to limit port access
3. setup a simple backend service that is "relaying" the queries or at least have a reverse proxy forwarding the admin site requests (so you can setup basic auth for the admin site)

Generally speaking, I understand you wouldn't like to pay for a DigitalOcean droplet, but exposing yourself to risks may will result in higher prices.

Okay thank you. I'm just a beginner for rethinkdb that's why. Of course, I would like to pay for a DigitalOcean droplet, but I don't have money now.
