I develop my rails applications at my local machine.
How can I easily show friends of mine the current state of the project? I have heard of tunnlr, but I am a poor student that looks for a free solution:-)
Best regards
Depending on how the machine is connected to the internet, the IP address may be dynamic.

And firewalled and you probably don't want to show everyone so you may also want to add some authentication.

Heroku ( http://heroku.com/ ) is great for quickly deploying a rails app (using git), and a developer account is free.

Deploying a free application is as simple as:
$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
And you can scale up from there if you ever need to obviously as well.

Just have a small Linux VmWare with rails + webserver. Then use capistrano or any other tool to push changes to it. Copy VM with VmWare Player to a flash drive, give it to a friend and you are done ;-)
Of course it works for "local" friends.
In fact there are <100Mb linux distros so you can upload it to rapishare or any other free file hostings.

A:
Free hosting service for rails is now provided @ http://herokugarden.com
Step 1: Create an account in herokugarden.com
Step 2 : Create a new rails application
Step 3 : Edit your project settings and export your project and migrate your migration files
Step 4 . Url of your application will be "http://projectName.herokugarden.com "
Step 5 : Share this link to show your local rails projects to your friends
Good luck !!!
