Serving Local Content Through Cloudflare Tunnels (feddit.de)

Hey everyone, just a quick question.

I've been selfhosting a number different web applications throughout the years. For most of them I would use Cloudflare Tunnels to expose them to the internet. I usually had one tunnel set up for my root domain and either a wildcard or multiple specific CNAME records pointing to the same tunnel. The tunnel would then terminate in a Docker container which shares a network with a Traefik instance, which then routes the traffic through a seperate network to the different application containers.

I was just wondering what your opinions on this are, considering this approach over a seperate tunnel for every application. This would eliminate the need for a shared network for Traefik, although I don't consider this much of an issue.

Any opinion, input or recommendation is welcome! I'd love to hear about your setups, if you're running something similar.

I do use one domain with several subdomains (or simply a wildcard), that's what I meant by the CNAME record(s). But I see that wasn't completely clear from the post.

The setup time is not really a factor, more just the overhead of one tunnel and one Traefik instance vs multiple tunnels without Traefik. I might just do some basic "benchmarking" if you can call it that to see the CPU and (more realistically) memory impact.
