Cloudflare Tunnel? (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by WhosMansIsThis@lemmy.world to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

Just getting started with self hosting. I was wondering if anyone had experience with Cloudflare Tunnels for exposing their services to the internet. I like the simplicity and security it offers but don't love the idea of using Cloudflare. Like, I'm self hosting for a reason lol. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

For context, I'm running all of my services in a very small k8s cluster and my priorities are mostly security then maintainability. Thanks yall!

EDIT: yall are great! Thank you so much for the replies. I'm going try my luck with pangolin but its good to know I have options.

I wish I could like it. I followed the install directions to a tee, had it working, came across a random bug, hasn't worked since. Posted an issue and devs said it must be related to using IPv6, but I'm using IPv4. That was a week ago. This is my second time installing by the way, the first time had other issues.

I'm just bummed because I spent all night changing all my services and DNS to Pangolin after it was working fine, then waking up to find all of them have failed. Had to revert to Cloudflare and I'm probably going to need to spin up another VPS if devs aren't sure either.
