modbender Workspace Explorer
Provide secure, temporary access to your workspace via code-server (VS Code in browser) tunneled through Cloudflare.
Repository: https://github.com/mrbeandev/workspace-explorer
Installation
git clone https://github.com/mrbeandev/workspace-explorer.git
Usage
Run the start script with the workspace path:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/start_workspace.py /path/to/workspace
The script will:
- Download binaries on first run (code-server + cloudflared)
- Start code-server on localhost
- Create a Cloudflare tunnel
- Print the public URL and password directly to terminal (Note: Wait 15-30s for the URL to become active)
Example output:
============================================================
✅ WORKSPACE READY!

🌐 URL: https://random-words.trycloudflare.com
🔑 Password: xY7kL9mN2pQ4
============================================================
💡 Share the URL and password with your owner.
Press Ctrl+C to terminate the session.
