Create Tunnel
To access our project to the internet, we need Cloudflare Zero Trust.
Download and Install the package:
wget -O cloudflared.deb
https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-
linux-amd64.deb
apt install ./cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb
Login to Cloudflare and allow this server:
cloudflared tunnel login
⚠ You will be given a json file containing the tunnel information
Create the new tunnel:
cloudflared tunnel create cbt-vm
Route tunnel to DNS:
cloudflared tunnel route dns cbt-vm cbt-vm.liansirait.my.id
Create cloudflared config directory:
mkdir -p /etc/cloudflared
Before the next step, please check the TunnelID in /root/.cloudflare/<tunnel>.json .
Create new configuration named config.yml :
tunnel: <tunnel>
credentials-file: /root/.cloudflared/<tunnel>.json
ingress:
- hostname: cbt-vm.liansirait.my.id
service: http://localhost:80
- service: http_status:404
Execute this command to set up the systemd service:
cloudflared service install
Enable and start the systemd service:
systemctl enable --now cloudflared
Check status:
systemctl status cloudflared
Done
