Pintheon nodes allow you to serve files to the internet via tunneling. Currently this is done by using Pinggy to open a tunnel. So it requires you to open an account at pinggy.com.

Set a Custom Domain ​

You can connect a custom domain to your Pinggy account.

This domain should also be set in your running Pintheon Node.

The image is now served on the Internet, using my custom domain.
