ERROR: unknown shorthand flag: 'o' in -ostname=my-app.ngrok.io

Unknown error in regards to the deployment of a NGROK docker image in a TrueNAS setup. NGROK had been working for at least a year before this. Less than 48 hours ago something changed (might of been an update to the image). Unfortunately I am not a programmer, but I am good at following instructions. So any assistance that can be provided to me would be most appreciated. I am using a NGROK paid account.

Also, what does "failed to created fsnotify watcher: too many open files" mean?

We're having the same issue and can't do some major maintenance on our repo until this is resolved (or we find a different docker image to use)(

Appreciate the response. I am not great (or even good at this stuff), so I am slightly hopeful that this can get solved since the problem isn't necessarily me.

Did you come up with a solution? Still having a problem myself.

Late Edit: I finally bit the bullet and got the NGROK/NGROK version working for truenas. I should not have delayed as much as I did. Once I figured out the basic environment commands and got the storage (for the .yml files) it was much easier going using basic setup from the NGROK website.

@mbonig I'm sure you've probably moved past this by now, but for you or anyone else who may be having this problem with this image, we were having the same issue so I identified it and fixed it. Well, I should say I fixed it as far as my needs go. Presumably it will work for anyone. Literally just a couple missing dashes in the entrypoint.sh file. Anyway, since the maintainers here haven't responded and there are a couple open PRs in this repo that have been open for a while with no response, I had to assume this issue wouldn't be fixed soon, so I just cloned the repo and created my own image. It's exactly the same as this one, works in exactly the same way, just fixed. So if you need it, it's here: https://hub.docker.com/r/mrhattyhat/ngrok. I may submit the PR for it on this repo. Just couldn't wait for it.

@ryan-hansen thank you for providing that image, that's solved my issue as well. Do you have a github repo up some where?

I'd also like to point out that if you provide NGROK_BINDTLS as 'true' in both wernight/ngrok and mrhattyhat/ngrok images as an ENV var, a similar error appears like ERROR: unknown shorthand flag: 'b' in -bind-tls . My guess is that ngrok no longer supports that option?

Once I remove setting that ENV var the error goes away and the ngrok tunnel still uses https. I suppose that ENV var reference in the README can probably be removed as well as the associated code.

fyi @wernight
