Uptime Kuma - cloudflared integration

Uptime Kuma, the project behind status.michaellamb.dev, recently merged a pull request which adds an interesting ease-of-use feature: integration with Cloudflare’s tunneling technology using cloudflared, a tunnel client which simplifies proxying requests from behind a firewall by leveraging the Cloudflare network.

Pros:

• Free of charge
• Full GUI, zero-config files
• You can put your Uptime Kuma behind firewall
• No need to expose your real IP
• No need nginx, caddy, traefik etc
• Zero-config SSL
• Free SSL

Cons:

• (Not a con if you are already using Cloudflare) Your domain’s nameserver have to move to Cloudflare
• add 30MB to the docker base image

Once installed, you can authenticate cloudflared into your Cloudflare account and begin creating Tunnels to serve traffic to your origins.

1. Create a Tunnel with these instructions
2. Route traffic to that Tunnel:
   • Via public DNS records in Cloudflare
   • Or via a public hostname guided by a Cloudflare Load Balancer
   • Or from WARP client private traffic
