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’ve just started using cloudflare and self hosting, I have applications running in docker containers on separate ports, I setup a frontend with caddy on a separate board that only hosts caddy and reverse proxy to the apps and cloudflare in front of it all. Seems to work pretty well
