Using Emulator UI remotely on a different device

See original GitHub issue

Viewing the firestore UI is always empty. My tests are passing and successfully using firestore. Creating a collection with a document in the UI returns to a empty database UI. Navigating to the collection via the URL returns an empty collection.

I’m on version 8.7.0 of firebase cli. Starting the emulators with firestore emulators:start.

Config:

    "firestore": {
        "rules": "firestore.rules"
    },
    "emulators": {
        "hosting": {
            "port": 5000
        },
        "firestore": {
            "port": "8080"
        },
        "ui": {
            "enabled": true,
            "host": "0.0.0.0",
            "port": 4000
        }
    }

Hello! My setup was odd as I was on a mobile device and couldn’t check the output. Back on a laptop. Its failing to resolve the localhost address as I’m accessing the UI remotely. Is there support for proxying the requests?

I’ve raised this in an internal discussion and we’re brainstorming on early ideas on supporting using the Emulator UI from another device. We’ll get back to you once we have a better proposal. For now though, sorry, that’s not (yet) a supported setup.

Does anyone have any clues to be able to use the emulator on gitpod?
