CloudFlare tunnels as a core feature

[funnelcloud]

NginxProxyManager and Tailscale are great but I'd personally love to see a built in setting for Cloudflare Tunnels.  I recently did a setup for UpTimeKuma, which has it built in and it was gloriously easy.  I can see how it might overlap with your paid business model but just throwing my coins in the wishing well.

As someone who actually can not use npm because my ISP blocks the required ports, Cloudflare Tunnels is the only option that works for me

I second this. NPM is a nightmare setup for me and have never been able to get it setup reliably. Cloudflare Tunnels just works. Integration with HexOS would make an already promising software solution even better.

I'd love native cloudflare tunnels support, my ideal setup would be able to easily map subdomains that I own to apps hosted on HexOS

Just adding my +1 for Cloudflare integration. I also think tunnels/Zero Trust align with the HexOS goal of having lots of capability without all of the complexity and setup. Much easier to get working (and more reliable) than a reverse proxy in my experience.

I use cloudflare tunnels for everything and have built out plenty of tooling to do this exact thing.  Playing devil's advocate and not knowing anything about the developers roadmap or mindset, adding subdomain configuration would require interacting with the Cloudflare API.  This also adds a third party dependency (Cloudflare API) to have to worry about changing or being updated breaking that feature.

I like the idea, but an important thing to consider is that cloudflare tunnels are not made for transfering big files or streaming high bitrate videos. All traffic goes through cloudflare and costs them money.

A solution like tailscale on the other hand facilitates peer to peer connections and all traffic after the initial connection building flows peer to peer. Here big files or streams are not a problem.

Hence cloudflare tunnels are great for applications that are light on transfers but especially for more NAS media stuff it is just not suited.

Hopes this gives some perspective 🙂

+1 for cloudflare tunnel being baked in as a great feature.
