 The nodes are not directly reachable from outside; so when the slides tell

+We suggest to use ngrok. When you need to expose, say, port 8000 on one of
+your nodes, just follow these instructions:
+
+- on that node, run `docker run --net host -ti jpetazzo/ngrok http 8000`
+- you should see the ngrok CLI
+- when it says "Tunnel Status: online", you're set!
+- browse to http://????????.ngrok.io, it will route to port 8000
+- you can stop ngrok with Ctrl-C, or put it in the background with
+  Ctrl-P Ctrl-Q
+- if you put ngrok in the background, you can reattach or kill
+  its container like any other container
+- you can also use `tmux` on your node, and keep each ngrok
+  instance running in its own tmux pane

 - You can use a proxy provided by Play-With-Docker. When the slides
   instruct you to connect to nodeX on port ABC, instead, you will connect
   to http://play-with-docker.com/XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:ABC, where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
   is the IP address of nodeX.
